Nah, I underestimated the power of our state legislature 8^o

Selections 5 through 8 will no longer be valid in April. The list of 
counties changed. More counties than #6, #7, #8 are going to Central TZ, 
one county is going with "Commerce Time", and item #5 (most locations) 
is switching to DST.

So I must setup DST manually, or select to #1. I think.
