Bill....while we are on odd bugs:
The latest version of Guide8 (this is on all computers) is still changing the time at
seemingly random times back and forth by ONE HOUR; it happened on November 1 and I
had to key in the TOFFSET=0 again to get it to the proper time.

I thought that this bug was fixed in the latest updates.
