[Help-emacs-windows] Daylight savings time

[Steve McKinney]

I use
(display-time)
to show time in the mode line.
With the recent switch to daylight savings time,
the time in the mode line is one hour off.

I'm using Emacs 20.7 compiled for NT5.0
(GNU Emacs 20.7.1 (i386-*-nt5.0.2195) of Tue Jun 13 2000)
on a Windows 2000 (NT5.0) PC

The Windows time handler (and many Microsoft apps)
unfortunately have "Automatically adjust for
Daylight Savings Time" so it is too much work
to find and change that option in a bunch of other
applications.

Has anyone set up emacs to automatically adjust
for daylight savings time?

I tried setting all the following variables in my
_emacs file, but the time is still one hour behind.

;;;Try to set daylight savings time ;;;Does not work - Apr 2, 2001
(setq calendar-daylight-savings-starts (list 4 1 2001))
(setq calendar-daylight-savings-ends (list 10 28 2001))
(setq calendar-daylight-time-offset 60)
(setq calendar-daylight-savings-starts-time 120)
(setq calendar-daylight-savings-ends-time 120)
(setq calendar-standard-time-zone-name "PST")
(setq calendar-daylight-time-zone-name "PDT")
(setq calendar-time-zone -480)


Any information appreciated!
