My citation of their manual was accurate. well, it wouldn't be the first time software documentation was wrong. it's happened before, it happened here, and, sadly enough, it will no doubt happen again. it's Coordinated Universal Time, and the 3-letter abbreviation is UTC, not UCT. actually, most software I've seen tends to use GMT instead of UTC anyways, but UCT isn't right at all. --jim -- #include <std_disclaimer.h> 73 DE N5IAL (/9) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ INTERNET: jim@n5ial.chi.il.us | grahj@gagme.chi.il.us | j.graham@ieee.org ICBM: 41.70N 87.63W UUCP: gagme!n5ial!jim@clout.chi.il.us AMATEUR RADIO: n5ial@n9hsi (Chicago.IL.US.Earth) AMTOR SELCAL: NIAL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
