Not sure if this helps, but it's easy enough to do from within the Palm - see the comments under the TimTimeZoneToUTC Function in PalmOS Reference. I'm assuming you have an app installed on the Palm, you could incorporate code in your app to perform this function and define a custom applaunch code that your conduit invokes to run the appropriate routines. Just a Thought, YMMV. (I haven't written a conduit in a while, though I need to before the end of the month for my latest app - wish me luck!) Regards, Randyp
