Mark S:

I live in Glenview.

By the way -- I seem to have solved my sunrise/sunset problems.  It appears that my
version of ECS makes the conversion for daylight time despite the fact that the documentation
says otherwise.

  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daylight savings time and the documentation is just out of date.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
