Dear net,

I am having problems turning summertime off. I am running British system
7.5 upgraded to 7.5.1 with the U.S. upgrade 1.0 on a IIcx with Date & Time
control panel version n/a, Map version n/a, Network Time version 2.0.1. My
computer and I are in the United Kingdom and summertime finished
yesterday.

I went to the new Date & Time control panel and turned the "British Summer
Time" check box off. That set the time back an hour correctly, but I
noticed that the time zone changed from "London..." to "The time zone has
not been specified". So I clicked the "set time zone..." button and set it
to London. However this moved the clock forward an hour again and put a
time zone difference of one hour in Map.

There seems to be no way I can have London as the time zone and remain on
GMT. I even managed to set the clock on two hours one time by going into
the "set time zone..." dialogue box twice in succession and chosing
London. However this was not repeatable.

I fixed things by leaving Date & Time to say "The time zone has not been
specified", setting Map to zero time difference and using Network Time to
reset the clock.

What am I doing wrong?

Regards Bob,
