Germany Lines: 20 We use the setclock programm from PC/TCP (FTP Inc.) to set the clock of our PC's to the date/time of our ntp server. The problem we have is that setclock has not the correct algolrithm for daylight saving in central europe. We here in Germany (and all other in central europe) change the daylight saving at the last sunday in march and the last sunday in september. Because setclock doesn't know about this, we must change the tzname in the configuration at every daylight change. This is very frustrating if you have many pc's! Any suggestions how we can patch it? We run FTP's Version 2.03.
