Well, its quite a program! The date isnt right but other than that it seems
to work ok. It thinks UTC is currently 22:27 Sept 14, 5:27 local for an
actual local time of 3:27pm Pacific time(PDT)Sept 13. I setup the TZ
but it just doesnt come out right
I set

Lat: 47:06 Long -122:46
Zone Name: PST Offset -8
DST Name: PDT Offset -7

clicked "
"save" and set main" and then in the other window clicked on "Update" and
then RT and its still off by 2 hours and a day
Any ideas?
Thanks
Eric
