1) Read the help file
?timezones
and note that the R project does not do any of the programming associated with
that functionality.
2) Keep in mind that it is you who are supplying an indeterminate value to be
interpreted. You need to know from context (another column of data? The trend
of values preceding this value?) whether this value should be interpreted as DT
or ST. You would have to convert first to POSIXlt and fix the isdst value
yourself for those values that need your attention before converting to POSIXct.
3) Please read the posting guide and follow it, including posting in plain text
on this mailing list.
