|Yep,
|
|Seen that kind of issue before with software. The answer is to 
|reduce the time to GMT standard first before doing a compare.

|Morning all,
|
|We maintain a centralised repository of resource files and our 
|customers use our software to synchronise their local copies 
|with the repository by comparing several attributes of files 
|on each end.
|
|Since the end of NZ Daylight Saving our Australian customers 
|are forced to unnecessarily download all files that have not 
|been modified what so ever, we suspect this is caused by the 
|DLS as one of the attributes we compare is the file's last 
|modified time stamp.
|
|Has anyone had this problem before and what's your advise?
|
|Regards
|
