Re: winter and summer time confusion in clock and tcl 8.4.12 and 8.5a4 (starpack)

Hello Michael,

sad, that I didn't read the man page good enough.

But reading the man page again, I'm not sure if this problem is about
daylight savings time.
I'm not on the boundary of daylight savings time, so I would expect to
get the right time, not only the right date.

And even if - "now" is now, here in Berlin and not "1 hour to the
west".

I think such "relative" tokens like now (which is not really relative,
like e.g. today) must cause "clock scan" to return the real, current
time with all corrections.

And ... by the way:

% clock format [clock seconds]
Thu Mar 30 13:59:02 +0100 2006
% clock format [clock scan now]
Thu Mar 30 14:00:02 +0100 2006

But it is one hour later! It does not seem to matter, if "clock scan
now" or "clock seconds" is used!

A bit confusing for me!
