Hi Michael

I know this might be slightly out of context, but check out the haxealtdate lib by Madrok, which will handle dates before 1970 and after 2038, and also implements time zones. Although this doesn't help to retrieve the current system time zone, it's certainly an
excellent lib.

Hello list,

  Is there any way currently to retrieve the current time zone from
  Neko?

Not right now. The main reason is that Date and Time APIs in C are a big
mess.


I'm actually working in the same area, which is also why i needed
Int32 to get contemporary dates after 2003.
Is there a split of Date into Date and Time and optionally DateTime
planned? I really would like to be able to handle dates before 1970
and after 2038.
About the timezones, i've experienced some problems here -  i'm in
UTC+9 and sometimes i get weird results.

anyway, i know that time is always a hard thing to get right for
everybody and i don't need that much right now, just some thoughts :)
