Justin:
That should work, but I would have to do it in every program. I thought Java
was supposed to read that information from the computer. As far as I know
the JDK should get the default timezone from the computer it is running in.
What if I run the program in London, or California? Would I have to
recompile it again? Thats the point of the Calendar and Timezone classes, to
know where in the world you are. I think there must be a way to set that up
in an export in the profile script, but i dont know how. Is there a page
where the exports for the JDK (CLASSPATH, ...) are mentioned?
