Yes, but I have dates in the format specified in the earlier mail (with a different timezone-offset) and want to convert them to the current timezone. The first step was just to get an example. So 28 Nov 2004 12:02:18 +0000 in the example is not the current time, it is a time which I got from an external source (and I can not assume that the date is in UTC). For your example to work the "..." would still have to include %z in its format-string, and this doesn't seem to work (if I'm not doing something stupid, if so please tell me). Thanks for your response anyway. Any more takers?
