localtime function 1 hour off on win2k

[rmtsmith]

after mar 11 dst, the localtime function is 1 hour behind; win admin says the "patch" was just a register setting change.

Anybody got any ideas

You will have to add an hour if tech support can't get the server time working correctly:

localtime(time+3600);

I found this, this is a bug in win2k and above -----

MSVCRT.dll does report the correct time if TZ environment variable is set, there hot fix from MS:
