Where in Chicagoland are you?  I live in Batavia (just North of Aurora).

  I am having difficulty in making the sunrise-time and sunset-time work as
I expect.  Given the values that I put in for latitude, longitude, and time
zone, the sunrise-time and sunset-time seem to be assigned reasonable
values.  But, according to the documentation, these times should be one hour
early during the current daylight savings time.  I can't tell if I am giving
the parameters wrong or if perhaps ECS has been enhanced to handle daylight
savings time and the documentation is just out of date.

  I live at approximately 42N, 87W (Chicago).  I am putting +42 in for the
latitude.  I am putting +93 in for the longitude (180-87).  I am putting
Central in for the time zone.  Can anyone see that I am doing something
wrong?  Or, has the daylight savings time problem been solved and not
documented?

  Thanks for your help.

  Kevin
