README notes for udate.


The udate program has evolved since I first wrote the original version
back in July of this year.  If you have an old version of udate or dst,
I suggest that you read the documentation carefully, since there are
some differences in the way the daylight savings time adjustment and
the TIMEZONE variable are set.  This new version of udate actually
combines the old udate and dst program into one program.

The old dst command would set the TIMEZONE variable for you with the
current timezone name and then the udate command would read it.  The
new version of udate requires that the TIMEZONE variable be set by the
user, see the documentation.  The new way seems much better and more UNIX
like.
