style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'">Unfortunately,
Windows has no native support for the tzinfo database. The Windows OS family
uses a proprietary, registry-based pseudo-database that doesn’t have much
historical data—and even then, only on Windows Vista, 7, and 2008. Microsoft
updates this data through Windows Update, so if you don’t have that feature
enabled, you might show up for all your appointments an hour late during the
first week of November. (j/k)<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>OK, I run my timezone database under windows, so, after a
couple of tries, I got the code I downloaded from the TZ database site to
compile under windows.<o:p></o:p></P>
