Yes, however "TZEDIT from the Windows Resource kit says DST switching will take effect on last sunday in March. Now I wonder whether either the emacs code gets it wrong from the OS, or Windows/NT 4.0 has no idea what the last sunday in march is. Note that the last sunday in march is the last day in march this year (31st). Maybe Microsoft messed it up... Ulrich
