Two patches are provided by the author for the Eastern Time Zone (one for NT4 and 2K, another for 95/98/me).

From the author:

---------------

The DST fix for Windows 2000 is available for Microsoft's business customers, at a price of $4000.

The silly thing I don't get is, the patch for Windows XP is identical to the patch for Windows 2000, with the exception of it being specifically programmed to not run on Windows 2000. They're basically charging $4000 to take out a line of code that basically says "If the Windows version is 2000, exit with an error."

--------------

Typical of Microsoft I suppose.

There are two utilities from MS, both called TZedit, which allow you

to define/modify the DST dates for your time zone (one for W9*, the

other for NT*). Search for file names 'tzedit.zip', 'tzedit.exe' or

'TZeditWin98.exe'. Instead of waiting for MS to update the DST def's

each time the local administration changes those dates (you'll have

a really long wait for W9*), you can just do it yourself.

Note, if you run this utility and no time zone definitions show up,

this means you've got the wrong version (NT* vs. W9*). The package

archives I've got, have the following file sizes : NT* EXE = 69952,

W9* EXE = 86016, W9* ZIP = 23626 (uncompressed = 51997 total).

Hope that helps.

Joe.

MDGx has a fix for all older versions and new.
