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

[Ajay K. <Aja...@tr...>]

Ideally the configuration should support the timezone to be specified
explicitly, and default to UTC if the TZ is not specified. That would
allow administrators the flexibility to use GMT, localtime, or some
other timezone (e.g. their counter party's timezone) when specifying the
session start and end times.

		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
