[Logic] Re: Changing the UTC Offset

[PDA]

Dear Richard and all:

Thanks for your note.

The problem would be simplified if we 
assumend that no one would be using 
LOGic while a DST change in the 
computer happens.  We could simply 
read the offset at program startup and 
use that.

Howevr, if someone is operating during 
the DST changeover event on the 
computer, we would have to check the 
offset every time we read the clock, which 
is about once per second if the Info 
window is open.  That may not be too 
much overhead these days.

Ideally there would be an OCX with an 
event triggered BY WINDOWS that would 
raise an event whenever someone 
changes the UTC offset in the computer 
(or it does it itself).

Anyway, your comments are appreciated.  
Pse email me directly.

Glad to know that this is apparently the 
biggest problem with LOGic at the 
moment hihi.

Tnx & 73,

Dennis WN4AZY

Hi Dennis:

Well I started a thread on the Logic 
reflector thats becoming heated, which 
wasn't the intent.

I know you have let us know your 
reasoning in the past, but is there anyway 
for Logic6 to look at the pc clock to 
update the offset when we change the 
clocks due to day light savings time.

Thanks in advance.
