billiing problem with old etm

[lawquest]

Dan,

I am slowly learning the new etm but for now at least I still log my time in old etm.  At the end of a month, I do up my "bills" for the staff to review.  I tried this just now for my December hours and got the following error.  Any suggestions? I guess I could re-input the hours into new etm and learn how to "do bills" on the new etm but very busy now and would prefer deferring the switch to the new etm a while longer. Now here is what I get:

"johwhi@johwhi:~$ etm c 'a c; ddd, MMM dd yyyy e -b -1/1 -e 1 -w 0'

johwhi@johwhi:~$ etm c 'a c; ddd, MMM dd yyyy e -b -1/1 -e 1 -w 0'^C

I have had the "bad time zone" error for months and just ignor it, so I think the new problem is something different.

For what its worth, I found the offending entry, removed it and old etm now works as expected.  The following language in the offending entry is what blew it up:

"@x 270, 70, 65"
