EVALUATION This regression only affects the platform that uses windows registory time zone MapID to find out java time zone. WinNT4.0 and that with SP3 use such way. koushi.takahashi@japan 1999-11-12 This actually happened only on Localized system. English(US) WinNT works correctly. koushi.takahashi@japan 1999-11-12
