[quote="Rhutobello"][quote="rohiniranjan" I think their claim for automatic DST change held good but since some of the countries (actually not even all states in a country!) decided to change the cut-off dates it can create some confusion amongst astrologers. Software would have to go through some more sophisticated algorithms (such as those used in computers (aha!!), [/quote]

I disagree with your statement.

If this is the policy of the company, which I believe or hope is not, then they have to announce on "Front Page" that their DST don't follow the DST for such and such area. If they don't do that, they are selling a product that promise more then it deliver, and at least here, such a statement would be attacked.

And I believe that in America the Company would be sued for millions of $, because of the havoc they created in peoples life, because of wrong chart

But maybe someone have this program and can enlighten us what the policy are

from a legal point of view, what you say makes sense
I have the program and the version 6 does not autoadjust for the "new" DST change date which has been adopted in Ontario (and possibly some other provinces in Canada and States in US). I have not checked all of those though, in all fairness but then version 6 PREDATES the date when the time change was instituted I have version 7 but there were certain computer specific issues which preclude my using that version. If someone else has version 7 and could check out if March 9, 2008 for Toronto, ON, Canada, the version shows DST or ST? Thanks!

Just minutes ago heard from a friend who has Parashara's List version 7 and it was confirmed that PL 7.0 DOES take into consideration the newly instituted changes in DST dates!

Sleep in peace!
