hello,
i've a question about the timezonerule MET.
SYS$TIMEZONE_RULE is MET-1MET_DST-2,M3.5.0/2,M10.5.0/2
for DECnet+ V6.3 eco5 or later.
M10.5.0/2 means setting time last Sunday of October 
from 2 am back to 1 am.
I believe that this is wrong.
In Austria (and I think in all European countries which 
belong to MET) the time is set from 3 am back to 2 am 
at the last Sunday of October.      ^^^^         ^^^^
SYS$TIMEZONE_RULE sould be:
			MET-1MET_DST-2,M3.5.0/2,M10.5.0/3
Changing the definition for MET in SYS$UPDATE:DTSS$TIMEZONE_RULES.DAT 
accordingly would correct the rule.
I hope my European-MET colleagues confirm my opinion about
the rules of MET. 
best regards

Btw:
WindowsNT V4.0 does it the right way: 
It has following statements in its registry:
(GMT+01:00) Berlin, Stockholm, Rome, Bern, Bruessels, Vienna:
Key Name:          SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\TimeZoneInformation
DaylightName	W. Europe Daylight Time
DaylightStart	00 00 03 00 05 00 02 00   -> like M3.5.0/2
StandardName	W. Europe Standard Time
StandardStart	00 00 0a 00 05 00 03 00   -> like M10.5.0/3

The description of "time" in the docs and help file are ambiguous at best.
