Note:
Please note that all times are specified in UTC (Universal
Time Coordinated) in order to use the same time
coordinate on measurement systems standing in different
time zones. During winter time (standard time) UTC is
equal GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). During summertime
(daylight savings time), UTC is GMT –1. To obtain your
local time, you need to subtract (add) a certain number of
hours from (to) UTC depending on how many time zones
you are away from Greenwich (England). For the current
GMT check the following web site:

Using Microsoft Access to edit the Database
If you are planning to create a large and complicated setup, it may be a good
idea to use MS Access to edit the tables, especially the Phone Book table.
The Commands, as well as the Phone Book table are stored in the file
c:\programme\opera\databases\commandlist.mdb
. You may directly open
this database using MS Access, or any other compatible database
application.
