111043 -  ..
111044 - He does not want to get values for datecnt from the system clock, but
111045 - from somewhere else that requires managing time zones and daylight
111046 - saving time issues.  He mentions Greenwich meantime.  This sounds like
111047 - a requirement for being connected to the Internet, and would create a
111048 - huge delay in program processing.
111049 -
111050 -        [On 090528 0822 temporarily solved problem by configuring
111051 -        datecnt command to pacific standard time, but also recognizes
111052 -        daylight savings time. ref SDS 25 QX4O
111054 -  ..
111055 - Morris seems to indicate this is a Java thing, that it has a wide
111056 - range of time management capabilities.  Sounds these can be usefully
111057 - deployed, but not for the datecnt command.
111059 -  ..
111060 - The current datecnt command gives the user control of datecnt content
111061 - by setting the computer clock in the OS.  It can be configured to get
111062 - the current time from an Internet resource, but only once a day.  This
111063 - is effective, because there are circumstances creating records when
111064 - considerations need to be tested for various date and time parameters.
111065 - If datecnt is always "accurate" to Greenwich meantime, or any fixed
111066 - control, then requirements to experiment with variable time parameters
111067 - will be frustrated.
111069 -  ..
111070 - Morris gave an example if other people are using the computer who may
111071 - have a different time zone.
111073 -  ..
111074 - There may be use cases where multiple users for a single computer need
111075 - different time zones, but this can be addressed in the next version of
111076 - SDS.  The current version is get SDS running as is on 64-bit
111077 - technology.  One solution would be to add a parameter for time zone
111078 - but the utility is not evident for the purpose of SDS.
111080 -  ..
111081 - Morris asked about millisecond parameter.
111083 -  ..
111084 - Actually think this can be useful.  It should be counter 7, which
111085 - requires moving the day of the week from counter 7 to counter 8.
111086 - Since we are doing this. why not add a day of the year parameter to
111087 - couner 9.  We can test where datecnt is used to switch where counter
111088 - 7 is applied and move it to 8, and verify that this does not
111089 - overwrite current code using counters 8 and 9.
111091 -  ..
111092 - Morris said he provided counters 0 499, so there is plenty of room to
111093 - make immediate adjustments wihout having a ripple effect that requires
111094 - adjusting a bunch of other stuff.
111095 -
111096 -        [On 090528 0822 temporarily solved problem by configuring
