I am currently using the following Notes client program on my laptop:
Lotus 4.6a [Intl] 21 November 1997.
Some notes considering the summer time switching.
"Observe Daylight savings" is checked in my Notes client,
"Automatically adjust clock" is checked in "Control Panel->Date&Time"
Operating system is Win95 OSR2.
It happened last month that an important meeting was
appointed ( 23 of March 1999 10:00 , local time). After switching
to summer time (02:00 changed to 03:00 local time early morning
at 23rd of March, automatically, by OS), the meeting moved +1 hour
and appeared at 11:00.
I checked this with another party of the meeting, he saw the same
results on his PC. Luckily we both remebered the actual time....
I use Notes calendar function too rarely to make some/other final
conclusion.
