Time zone and DST values on UNIX and OS/2 platforms (R5.0.1)

Domino R5 will now get time zone and Daylight Savings Time (DST) information from the operating system on UNIX and OS/2 platforms.

On OS/2, it is important that the TZ variable be set in the config.sys file. If you do not observe Daylight Savings Time, do not put a Daylight Savings abbreviation in the TZ variable. On UNIX, Domino will use the difference between localtime & gmttime, and the value of the isdst field from localtime, to determine the time zone. On both platforms, localtime should always be correct before installing or starting a server.
