Arrggg.
But good to know.
And if you absolutely insist on doing it this way, make sure you
start in the middle of the day -- if your base time is 12:00 noon
(which is what I always use in this situation), the furthest it can
go because of DST is 11:00 or 13:00, which won't screw you up if all
you're interested in is the date. ;)
Cheers!
Mike
Another good thing to know.
Thanks,
