I looked at CONFIG.SYS (which is the main configuration file for OS/2, more critical than it was for DOS), and found the string that determines the dates for the time changes. It was fairly easy to figure out, so I can edit it and I should be set for the new rules.

Now I need to look through the Windows registry to find the equivalent string. I think I've seen it before but I don't think it will be as easy to understand and edit as the OS/2 string was. And I'm not sure just where it is in Linux.

Something I expect to see Real Soon Now will be a small program that will modify the daylight time registry entry for you. Of course you'll have to run it after every reinstall of Windows ...
