Sorry BST stands for Belgium Summer Time. If you make the change in
getdate.y please allow the following items as well:
GST (German Summer Time), LST (Luxembourg Summer Time), 
EST (Eireland Summer Time), DST (Danmark Summer Time), 
IST (Italian Summer Time) and HST (Holland Summer Time).
All these are standards according to the national bureaus.
The European standard is WET (West European Time), MET (Middle European Time)
and EET (East European Time). Where WET is the same as GMT. No daylight saving
time is included here. Perhaps WET DST (West European Time Daylight Saving
Time) is ok, if XST was not wired into the news sources.
And Bering wil remain as cold as it was befor.

If the format for news is RFC822, please stick to it. If ARPA does not take
over the European standards we have to follow the alphabetic identification,
even if Europe is modernized with daylight saving times now a days.
