Gabor's problem was that his local system had no time zone set at all, so of course DT::TZ couldn't figure it out! Your problems are entirely different. One is that DT::TZ doesn't support your wacky local time zone (and probably never will). The other is that you can't easily add support for a home-grown local tz determination module, which is a real problem. -dave /*============================================================ http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) ============================================================*/
