Re^2: Time Zones (offsets)

You can specify a GMT offsets in units of even hours via user settings. Those timezones are for backward compatability with how PM did 'timezones' previously and they use timezones on FreeBSD that are for backward compatability as well. Unfortunately, they are backward compatible to when GMT offsets where measure in reverse to how they are now.

/me Ouch! This reminds me of when Ben Franklin (unwittingly) defined current flow the "wrong" way. It doesn't really matter, as long as you know what it means. But those little electrons going uphill have furrowed the brow of many a student. [And don't make me go into how there's only one electron in the universe.] -QM -- Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of	[reply]
