[Dxspider-support] Time Issues

[mike at portcredit.net]

Ron is 100% correct.  It is Casablanca.  Normal sysadmin access is to run
in GMT and not worry about daylight savings.

You likely had the problem in the spring, but didn't notice it.  This is
the first year for the new DST.

Hope that all helps.. Mike VA3MW
