I wrote this program primarily because I was annoyed at having to remember local times around the world when I was using various internet services. Time differences are maintained in a private INI file called timezone.ini. Simply add any new cities as you need them in this file. The BST/DST determines whether to use the SummerTime or WinterTime section of the INI file. In the UK, this allows for switching to British Summer Time (BST). Since the first version, I've had some very useful feedback, some of the less time consuming ones I've managed to implement. The program now stores settings about itself like location and last used countries in the .INI file. The program is also less UK-centric now, so that if France is selected as the Locale - times around the world should be offset from France. Also, there is now a stay-on-top button which makes timezone the top most window if you want it. Hope you find these changes useful, and thanks for all the suggestions and support. NOTE: I've rewritten this program in Borland's Delphi, so it's now a standalone .exe, and the timezone.ini file is significantly different from the previous versions. To port your exisitng cities over simply cut and paste the new cities into the relevant sections i.e. instead of: 1=London,0 it should now read London=0. When you add new cities to the .ini file, the time differences need to be offset from GMT rather than from the Locale Enjoy!

Create a a sub-directory e.g. c:\timezone 2. pkunzip files into this directory and move timezone.ini into your Windows directory. If you have an existing timezone.ini, you will need to port new cities you've added to the new .ini file. 3. Add a new icon to your program manager for timezone.exe
