One idea: In Now if you read the timezones, then store the value of Now. In subsequent calls check if 1 hour has passed since the last time the timezones were checked. If yes, then update the timezones and store this new base value of Now.
This makes a compromise between speed and correctnees. It would at most be wrong for 1 hour during a long running application. For other applications which call Now very frequently we only add some value checkes more to the overhead, which shouldn't be expensive. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
