 VisualWork, Time, and Daylight Savings TIme Hello,
I just realized that the timing in my VW image did not adjust for the
DST changeover last weekend. 'Time now' now evaluates to an hour behind
the real time, as does 'Time currentTime'
What gives?

I took a quick look at this, and was wondering when you've got DST
ending? I have a feeling that your image will give the correct time on
Oct 31....
Yes?

Thanks.
Yeah, TimeZone default dayEndDST is 304 which should be Oct 31 so I
can see why it didn't rollover.
But I would have assumed that times were set from the system clock.
Does VW track time itself independent of the system clock?
And how did dayEndDST get set to 304 anyway?

I dunno that one. But, if you look at the Time Zones tab of the
Settings notebook, 304 appears frequently... Beats me :-)
