    AH! I put the areas on hold. But I can still post to them.
    That's pretty good.

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

    It most probably should be. This bug should also probably be
    added to the CONS section in..

    https://kolico.ca/fidonet/echos/points/

    I recall playing around with my local time here and found out
    that Winpoint never inserts a minus for TZ.

    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.

    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.
