: : the Rattacresh's X-bot tell that there's more ppl on #oceangirl every Saturday 21:00 MET-1DST. But, what does it means? I guess "MET-1DST" is a kind of local time, like the GMT, but I don't know what time is here in Italy when is 21:00 at MET-1DST.
: : Can someone explain me?

: [info:(libc.info.gz)TZ Variable]

: The second format is used when there is Daylight Saving Time:

: STD OFFSET DST [OFFSET]`,'START[`/'TIME]`,'END[`/'TIME]

Ok, this was _VERY_ technical, sorry ...

"21:00 MET-1DST" simply means 21:00 CEST (Central European Summer Time)
in summer and 21:00 CET in winter.

For you in Italy, this simply means: come to the chat when your
clock tells you it's 21:00.

This is 19:00 GMT in summer and 20:00 GMT in winter.

Midnight
