Eg the DST of CET is the same regardless of the country, its specified for the timezone abbreviation "CET", not for Germany or France (countries/states can then choose what timezone they want to use). Eg libFoundation needs to have Rio timezone info even if I'm running the server in Germany because it won't be able to translate your Rio event dates into my local timezone. regards, Helge -- http://docs.opengroupware.org/Members/helge/ OpenGroupware.org -- OpenGroupware.org Discussion [email protected] http://mail.opengroupware.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
