Re: Time offset strangeness

Well, i tried the cygwin1.dll latest snapshot, and also the sergey coolview,
but none of these library fixed the problem :with coolview, date still tell
date one hour ahead.  
and i didn't manage to start cygnus.bat with the cygwin dll snapshot from the
26th of January 1999. Anyone any clue ?
