A note about the future of ecsoft2.org

ecsoft2.org runs on software (Drupal 7 and PHP 7.4) that reached its end of life years ago and no longer receives security updates. Keeping the site online safely is getting harder.

Giving it a future means migrating it to a current platform — and that is only worth doing if people still use it and want to help keep it alive.

If you care about ecsoft2.org, as a user, a contributor, or someone willing to lend a hand, please ggambatiscali [dot] it (get in touch) by January 31, 2027.

If no one comes forward by then, the site will be turned into a read-only archive, so that its content stays available.

DSTswitch is a system utility that advances the time of your computer when daylight saving time becomes active or sets it back when standard time is active again. DSTswitch is a stand alone program, that means an Internet connection (i.e. a connection to a time server) is not necessary. However, DSTswitch can connect to time servers by using the TCP RFC868 protocol. Additionally, DSTswitch can be set up to run as a RFC868 time server.

This software is distributed as compressed package. You have to download and manually install it; if prerequisites are required, you will have to manually install them too.
