Using <ZDT> a in macro


w1ret <w1ret@...>
 

When I use <ZDT> (Zulu date time) in my SK macro I get this for a
date/time..

09/23/08 00:43 EST de W1RET sk

I don't know where the EST is coming from other than that is the
time zone I am in although right now it is EDT. I would think it
would be GMT or UTC or Z. The time and date shown are correct zulu
time and dates.

If I change to <IZDT> (ZDT in iso-8601 format) I get this for a date/
time....

2008-09-23 00:46:42Z de W1RET sk

A bit long but it shows the time as Z and not EST. Again time and
dates are correct for zulu time.

I wonder if <ZDT> is picking the time zone from the local PC clock?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

The developers will check to see if the time code behaves differently on the different OS.

Thanks Dave.

I may have something set incorrectly here but I haven't found it. So
don't rule that out either!
