Time values in Mid-Tier appear off by several hours if we
don't define AR System User Preferences/TimeZone.  It sounds
like we have to choose between having hour calculations off
under some very unusual situations, or having Mid-Tier users
see the hourly readings off by a few hours.

Or is there some other way of getting Mid-Tier to display
hours correctly other than by defining TimeZone for everybody?

(We are at Mid-Tier and ARS 6.3, Win 2000 web server, IIS 5.)
