I'm not OP, but I think I also want what, I believe, he wants, namely: A locale that I can select that will give me text displays of the time, and text displays of file mtimes that do not mention, or use, summer time, ever. Is there such a wrong-thinker/outlier variation of locale? A sort of a sub-culture locale, that isn't really an fully accurate reflection of the dominant culture in my geographic region? For me, summer-time has always been something of an annoyance. With the spread of computers in the sixties and seventies, I had hoped that limitations of technology might kill summer-time. Instead, computer technology has become an enabler of a feature of my culture that I do not like. And let's see what OP was really asking for also. -- Paul E Condon pecon...@mesanetworks.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
