I'm EST time: time(0);
returns now. If I want to display west coast time: time(0) - (60 * 60 * 3); 60 seconds/minutes 60 minutes/hour times 3 hours. time(0) - 10800; Returns USA west coast. Easy way to do it. Daylight savings will screw you if you are in a DS area. -----Original Message----- From: Vertigo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 02, 2002 11:07 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Mud Time/ctime... I added the following line into do_time: setenv( "TZ", "EST5EDT", 1); That got it set to EST with regard to EDT. I *am* interested in exactly what Edwin did with his multiple time zone output.
