[Dxbase] DXB and UTC

[Jon Casamajor]

Hi DXB users,
Well I applied Peter's suggestion and it works perfectly! I don't know how I
got it so messed up but I'm really good at that sometimes! Thanx Peter and
Tom, K4XG for snapping me back to reality on this...Groan...

DX Base will log in UTC automatically by calculating the offset from the
system time that you have Windows set up for. If you've told your PC that
you're in US-Eastern, it will add 4 hours now and 5 hours when the time goes
back in the fall. Make sure your PC clock is set for the right time zone and
you don't need to do anything else to DX Base. Incidentally, you should also
periodically ensure that your clock is synchronized to NIST or other time
standards--either by doing it manually to WWV or else using an NTP app.

I asked Scientific Solutions but have never received an answer so I'll ask
here.  Is there a way to set a UTC/Zulu time offset so that DXbase will log
the time and day appropriately without having to put my PC  clock on Zulu
time?

The old DOS version was capable of that but I can't find it in 2007.
