Denmark is placed in the Central European Time zone (CET or MET), which (in
the winter) is equivalent to Greenwich Middle Time plus 1 (GMT+1). You set
the time zone on a Linux system by making a symbolic link between
/usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime and the file in
/usr/lib/zoneinfo/ with a name corresponding to your zone or
country. Danes will want to execute one of the commands
ln -sf /usr/lib/zoneinfo/MET /usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime
or
ln -sf /usr/lib/zoneinfo/Europe/Copenhagen /usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime
This automatically sets Daylight Saving Time (GMT+2) in the summer.
You synchronize the system time with the CMOS clock by issuing the command
clock. If your CMOS clock is set to Greenwich time (the standard on
proper Unix systems) use
clock -u -s
or if your CMOS clock is set to local time use
clock -s
ghostscript:
Add the command line option -sPAPERSIZE=a4.ghostview: Define the following Xresource:
Ghostview.pageMedia: A4
/usr/lib/texmf/dvips/config.ps or ~/.dvips.
XDvi.paper: a4
You can translate files between an ISO-8859-1 formatted text file and
e.g. a DOS text file using codepage 850 with the recode package. A
DOS file called foo.txt would be translated into a proper Unix
file with the command
recode cp850:latin1 foo.txt
recode is available as recode-3.4.tar.gz from all mirrors of
prep.ai.mit.edu.
