This was posted to comp.sys.hp.hpux.  Since MPE has the TZTAB.LIB.SYS
file, and it has the same entry, I thought it was appropriate to cross
post the following here:
 
 
 
There's a fault in the tztab entry for GMT0BST in 9.05, the clocks went
back today (the 22nd), but date under HP-UX is still stuck at BST :-(.
The relevant entry from tztab is as follows
 
 
# Greenwich Mean Time, British Summer Time
GMT0BST
0 3 25-31 3  1983-1984 0   BST-1
0 3 23-29 3  1985-1990 0   BST-1
0 3 25-31 3  1991-2038 0   BST-1
0 1 25-31 10 1983-1985 0   GMT0
0 1 23-29 10 1986-2038 0   GMT0
 
  As I understand this table it should read
 
0 1 22-29 10 1986-2038 0   GMT0
 
  Anways, I guess the technology will sort itself out tomorrow, I wonder
how much breaks because of this ?
