World Time Sorted Out

My recent efforts to sort out the times for the Space Shuttle's de-orbit burn and landing were dependent on a World Time Clock, a free download from http://www.pawprint.net/wt/ I set my version to UTC as the base clock, then added my local clock - Melbourne. Also added Miami, (nearest listed to Kennedy), New York is unnecessary as time zone is as Miami. Delete other clocks if un-necessary. Probably will add Houston (Control of Shuttle) as time zone there is different to Miami. Only problem I struck was using my home clock as Mornington - it was only correct for AEST but program had no way of determing daylight saving - hence the change to Melbourne. I now use only listed places and their clocks. A major interest is the inbuilt TraQdate facility, set it up and you have your own on-screen count-down.
May be of interest to those like myself - clocks forward or back at end of daylight saving, I leave to my wife. Cheers.
