Subject: Timezone/Daylight Savings time info in CALENDAR for Ada 9X...
Date: 28 Aug 89 18:24:36 GMT [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20800@sequent.UUCP> (raw)
I was wondering if any extensions to CALENDAR were planned regarding:
1. Timezones. Perhaps implement the 'universal time' (whatever it
is called, the time that airlines, and satellites use) into the
package. Or maybe have information that will name the 24 time zones
in the world and have a function to return what the name of the local
time is.
2. Daylight savings time. This varies from Country to Country,
but it would still be useful for implementations to give this type of
information. (I do not know precisely what I am suggesting an
implementation do with this information, but it would be useful
nonetheless.)
Just curious. Time seems to be a flakey thing to measure especially
with all of the changes that go on...
