SV: [HECnet] Hecnet map update

DST changes aren't even necessary. Unless someone plans to adjust the map periodically. 
I agree with Peter: put UTC+delta in INFO.TXT.   For the moment that is fine. 
No southern hemisphere users in HECnet, right ?

I like the idea of expanding the info.txt .. time zone column=20

  Fine by me.     How is time zone expressed?   Simply giving a numeric =
offset from GMT is problematic for places that observe daylight savings =
time - we'd have to update the file twice every year.   Can we use =
something like PST8PDT??

A box of worms:

  So there is 1h, 30min and 15min timezones and some +300 local
  daylight savings rules.

  Suggestion is that you put the current UTC offset in the file, and
  have a local batch/cron job that modifies it according to local DST
  rules. 

For those intertested, http://www.iana.org/time-zones has the
list... -:)
