# On MS-DOS systems, the standard C library functions are #
# not reliable for computing offsets from local time to #
# UTC. The following provides a work-around for the #
# sunrise() and sunset() functions. Note, however, that #
# if Daylight Savings Time is in effect for today(), the #
# sun functions return times in DST even for dates on #
# which DST is not in effect; the converse can also occur.#
# #
# Change the timezone to your timezone - the default is #
# for EST which is 5 hours (300 minutes) behind UTC. #
# The code is correct for places in which Daylight Savings#
# Time begins on the last Sunday in April and ends on the #
# last Sunday in October. #
