Re: [Tlf-devel] TIME_OFFSET in logcfg.dat

[Mike Waters]

Shouldn't the time offset be entered in cty.dat? Here's the line where I enter mine (Central Time) in that file:

United States:            04:  08:  NA:   37.28:    93.82:     6.0:  K:

The instructions are in the TLF-0.9.9 doc by PA0RCT; I think that's the latest TLF doc.

So, what's the purpose of this?  I just discovered my RAC Winter contest log is 5 hours off because I put TIME_OFFSET=5 into my logcfg.dat after I came across it in the logcfg.dat example.  It has a helpful comment of

#################################

#                               #

#  Time offset from UTC         #

#                               #

#################################

so I figured ... what the heck.

Eastern standard time is 5 hours from UT.  

Clearly it was not the right thing to do.
