For heavens sake why can't we (the net) just get together and make up a list of all the time zone names and once we're all agreed stuff them into getdate!! Any new site is going to use whatever the local time zone name is any how, such as all the UK sites did in using BST, so may as well make it official. I'm afraid I cannot volunteer for collater, or whatever, since the local network connections are in a state of change. -- Lee McLoughlin ({ENGLAND}!ukc!root44!west44!lee)
