Hi Bill,

Using XP Home sp3, Guide 8 version August 29 2008. "ALT-J
TOFFSET=n" doesn't work for me. With the computer time checked for
DST, computer time shown is 12:34, which is correct.

Guide shows PST = 12:34, PDT = 13:34, LMT = 12:26 (8' long diff). I
tried setting both t1 and t2 in the Legend for PDT to see if the bug
could be affecting one of these and not the other. I didn't expect a
difference, and there was none.

Don't know if this helps, couldn't think of anything else to try.
