Dear Arthur and all, I have been advised that Pakistan has decided to adopt dst on a TRIAL basis for one year, starting 00:01 local time on April 7, 2002 and ending at 00:01 local time October 6, 2002. This is what I was told, but I believe that the actual time of change may be 00:00; the 00:01 was to make it clear which day it was on. Rives
