[techtalk] clock issues??

2000-11-06 Thread Walt
Ok, I'm confused! I set my time (using the 'rdate -s ' command that was recently mentioned on this list, thanks to whoever that was :-) but every time I reboot my system (I was *attempting a rh7.0 upgrade *sigh* – pointless) it resets the clock to an hour ahead. (daylight time instead of standard

What do y'all use to read Excel files? I might want to write them, too, but not yet. There are a number of commercial products that I've found, but I don't want to waste time to download/iinstall/learn something I'm not going to use. So, I'm looking for recommendations. -- J-Mag Guthrie
