Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: TZCRON.CMD 1.0  automates changing DST

From: "Lueko Willms" <lueko.willmsatt-online.de> 


This REXX script, TZCRON.CMD, will add itself to the crontab to be
scheduled at the time of the switch between standard and daylight savings
time, and when called at the right minute of such a switch, will change
system time including the time zone offset accordingly. 

It requires a CRON daemon with CRONTAB.EXE to submit the timed execution, 
RxDate 2.1 REXX Library, TZset.exe by Peter Moynihan and of course a
complete TZ environment variable, which has to include the date and time
of the changes, not only the time zone names.    

Download it from hobbes, currently
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/tzcron10.zip, later
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/system/tzcron10.zip  or from
http://www.willms-edv.de/freesoft/
