RE: [Quickfix-developers] QuickFix, GMT and Summer Time

[Shepheard, T. \(London\) <Tob...@ml...>]

Ideally, it'd be nice to have both options. For systems running across
multiple timezones it can make sense to use GMT, for other systems it
may make more sense to use a local time.

Whichever way a time is configured, appropriate handling for DST
switches is needed.

		We are based in Quebec(Canada) and since last weekend,
the clock is set to
		summer time.  So the gap between our local time and UTC
is only 4 hours
		instead of 5 hours.  That make our quickfix sessions
being started one hour=20
		later.  Is there a way for quickfix to automatically
handle the summer time?

	Does anyone else think the times specified in the configuration
should be expressed in *local* time, or perhaps take a GMT offset?  I
find it really weird and confusing to have to express them in GMT.=20
