Re: DST manual edition

1) cp /usr/lib/tztab /usr/lib/tztab.safe
2) vi /usr/lib/tztab
3) Remove existing Eastern Time Section and replace with:

# US DST changes for EST5EDT.

# Eastern Standard Time, Eastern Daylight Time
EST5EDT
0 3 24-30 4 1970-1973 0 EDT4
0 3 6 1 1974 0-6 EDT4
0 3 22-28 2 1975 0 EDT4
0 3 24-30 4 1976-1986 0 EDT4
0 3 1-7 4 1987-2006 0 EDT4
0 3 8-14 3 2007-2038 0 EDT4
0 1 25-31 10 1970-1973 0 EST5
0 1 24-30 11 1974 0 EST5
0 1 25-31 10 1975-2006 0 EST5
0 1 1-7 11 2007-2038 0 EST5


... but this is dumb. Swinstall the tztab patch, PHCO_37053, and be done with it.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Right. Note for 11.00 you'll have to take the tztab file from 11.11 PHCO_37053 and manually copy it there.
