Bug in Winpoint?

Yes, it is.

Alan's mail have @TZUTC: +0400, but he is a point of some Canadian
node.

The fact that he's pointing off a Canadian Node doesn't mean to say that
his mail was written in Canada.

Hopefully, he will also have seen my bug report(s) which I sent him by
crash netmail.

But it would be nice for TZUTC to be grounded on when the
message was written, not where.

that would be just wrong... it is meant to convey the timezone of the system clock where the message is written... if the system clock is in UTC, then TZUTC 0000 would be proper... east coast USA is TZUTC -0500 during standard
time and TZUTC -0400 during daylight saving... this because it is the local system clock time that is saved in the message header...

Nevermind. I communicated it wrong. But perhaps the tzutc could
reflect the time and zone, based on when *and* where, the author
actualy is.

So, Veleno's tzutc would make me appear in Italy, although I am
not. Where as, OpenXP's tzutc across my myriad of Boss systems
can pin-point my local time and timezone.

I have added it to the list but to be clear, I am not Re-Writing WinPoint, just helping it get updated and new versions released.

Currently working on the language, the compiler version has been moved to a much newer version. Tim has updated a few of the components in it. Updated Manual and help files. Will release the next version as soon as I have the above completed for the next beta.

It's been about a year since I last used Winpoint. Trying the new version. So far, so good! I like what I see.
