Summary:

The variable, "timezone", a member of the timeb structure defined in

SYS\TIMEB.H, is incorrectly documented as returning the difference in

seconds between Greenwich Mean Time and local time, in both the online

help and the Microsoft Press book, "Microsoft C Run-Time Library

Reference." The difference is returned in minutes, not seconds.

The "timezone" variable is documented correctly in both the online help

and the Microsoft Press book, "Microsoft C Run-Time Library Reference"

manual, in the description for the ftime() function.
