Oasis 3.5 to BST...?

How do I switch Oasis to BST, I've set it in the setup menu, but as 
you open up the newsgroup window the time still shows an hour behind 
at GMT. I saw something in the demon.announce group about setting a 
config file on PC, but as you can imagine its not much use to us folk 
who use Atari NOS.

Thanks,

James

I think how the program handles the timezone may well depend on how
the libs of the programming language (C? GFA?) handle it.

Well, actually it was the setting of an environment variable:

  GTZ=GMT0BST1,M3.5.0/01:00,M10.5.0/02:00

I'm not sure if this will work for Atari NOS, perhaps it's a modification
for the PC version of NOS.

New political campaigning in signature.  New danger.
