Forums Bug Reports Mirc 7.5/7.6 showing wrong time zone

Mirc is showing the wrong timezone for me. I tested it on a clean install of 7.06 and it still was wrong.

$asctime(z)

That is showing -4 when my computer is set to -5. Mirc 6.35 returns -5 also

$asctime(z) was changed in 7.05 to take account of your DST offset so that the value it returns is your current offset from GMT (and so is applicable to the times that identifier returns).

So what is the DST offest? I'm confused really, it doesn't show what it used to how can that be right?

If the output of $asctime(z) has changed then it is because you are in a part of the world that observes DST and advances its clocks during the summer months. As GMT remains the same all year round your offset from GMT will be different during this period.


If it was wrong before.

I think i get it now. Summer it'll be -4 and winter will be -5 because of daylight saving time.

(They really need to kill that shit off)
