CFITSIO: fits_write_date




Help,

We seem to of run into an issue with CFITSIO, and I wanted someone's take
who might of worked with this before.  Basically, when I use the Windows
version of CFITSIO (2.037) to write the date (fits_write_date), the time is
an hour earlier then the actual windows system time.  Tom has tried with
both GMT settings in windows, with apparently no effect.  Thoughts?

Thanks,
Rob

Rob,

Tried it, no luck.  You are still an hour earlier than where I write it 
out.  My write out agrees with the Windows time window.

Let's see.  I think the last entry wins?  If so I can just write out that
line?
