Hi all,

I have set my PC in Time Zone GMT+10:00 but I get GMT time in Entry time/Last edit field.

I have installed in another PC. Which has Time Zone GMT+10:00 but I still get GMT time in Entry time/Last edit field.

Please help. Thank you very much.

 

That's strange. I use the C function localtime() to obtain the local time from Windows. The documentation says that this function checks the Windows control panel  and returns the proper local time. So far, nobody complained so I guess only you have this problem (anybody else to correct me???). The only hint I found is to set the environment variable TZ. So open a DOS box and enter

set TZ=AST+10

then start elogd.exe interactively in that dos box and see if you get something else.

 I did as instructed but time was 20 hours behide

I have entered    set TZ=AST-10   I got the correct time. I think my elog files have been changed by someone. elogd file is running in DOS box now. Please help how to run elog as normal or correct elog files. Which file I should check. Is it elconv.c file? Thank you Stefan.
