2006 added a GMT offset to the Date class which you can adjust
and the date adjusts accordingly
Wow, I completely missed that.
I see that it returns the offset in hours... I wonder how that
works with time zones which are 30 minutes off?
You get .5
I would have thought an offset in minutes would be useful but I
know of only a few timezones that are off by 1/2 hour and none that
are off by anything like 15 minutes
Some places/countries use time offsets not an integral number of
hours from UTC/GMT.
Examples:
Newfoundland (Canada) is UTC/GMT - 03:30 (summer -02:30)
Australia (Northern Territory) is +09:30
Australia (South Australia) is + 09:30 (summer +10:30)
India is +05:30
Iran is +03:30 (summer +04:30)
Afghanistan is +04:30
Burma (Myanmar) is + 06:30
Marquises Islands is - 09:30
Norfolk Isl. (Australia) is +11:30
Lord Howe Island (Australia) is + 10:30 (summer +11:00)
Sri Lanka is +05:30
Some places use quarter / hour offset from UTC/GMT.
Examples:
Nepal is UTC/GMT +05:45
Chatham Island (New Zealand) is UTC/GMT + 12:45 (summer UTC/GMT +
13:45 or winter in the northern hemisphere).
Western Australia, Eyre Highway towns: Eucla, Caiguna, Madura,
Mundrabilla and Border Village (South Australia) use UTC/GMT +08:45
