Projects built with CodeWarrior that are stored on a HFS+ volume will be
rebuilt after Daylight savings time is changed.......

TITLE
Mac OS 8.1: Daylight Savings Time & Mac OS Extended Volumes
TOPIC
I notice that when I check Daylight Saving Time in the Date & Time control
panel, both the creation and modification times of files on a Mac OS
Extended volume change by one hour.If I change the time by hand, the times

DISCUSSION
The reason the times change is that Mac OS Extended stores the creation and
modification times in GMT time. The offset from GMT is stored in PRAM. This
value is added to the time stored for the file to determine the correct
creation or modification time.The GMT offset is stored when you select a
time zone in the Date & Time...

announces the beta release of Troi Text Plug-in 1.0, for FileMaker Pro 4.0

concatenates all the text from a field in a related file. Everytime records
get added or deleted to the related file the SumText is automatically
updated. It is the text equivalent of the Sum() function for numbers.

Plug-in we were asked to find a solution to this problem. Luckily we could
do it. The SumText function is very handy for building a list of contact
persons of a company, or multikeys. Why limit yourself to the sum of a
number. Just try it out".
