 The USA has changed DST rules nationwide beginning this year. I know I
can change settings city by city indivdually but that's a pain. Does
anyone know if Palm (or anyone) has a patch to update all the US cities
to the new settings at once? TIA.

I've been using the freeware aDSTKeeper for years. Works very well. I
*assume* the latest version will know the changed rules for the USA. It's at
http://www.palmgear.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=software.showsoftware&PartnerREF=&siteid=1&prodID=37164

Thanks. I checked their site at http://www.a0soft.com/ and they say
"Jul. 26th, 2005 aDSTKeeper v4.6 released." they'll need a more
recent update to include the new US rules.

I timesync my Treo to my Windows desktop, which timesyncs to a time
server "out there" somewhere. This handles my DST issues.

I do the same -- However, I don't sync when I'm traveling, rather, I
just change the city and let the Palm do the magic.

It would be nice of Palm to release an update, but who knows.
