Australian Zope users may be interested in some updates which add timezone data for Australia/NSW (including daylight savings periods) and corrects a "US/Eastern" problem. For further information see:

Maybe they will eventually find their way into the actual Zope product :o)
Are you trying to get me lynched? Dang northerners are always looking for trouble :-) $ date Thu Sep 30 09:16:53 EST 1999 $ echo $TZ Australia/Victoria I think Australia/Tazmania is also EST, but they probably wouldn't notice :-) I wonder if the following would work? On module initialization, if the TZ environemnt variable exists override the hardcoded mappings so that the short form maps correctly to the long form This would work on my Solaris boxes out of the box, but would require setting the variable under other operating systems such as NetBSD and NT. Oh dear - I was going to check http://www.vic.gov.au to see if EST is eastern standard time or eastern savings time down here. Unfortunatly, this web address is an automatic redirect to itself, which is a wonderful comment on the current state of our gov :-) ___ // Zen (alias Stuart Bishop) Work: zen@cs.rmit.edu.au // E N Senior Systems Alchemist Play: zen@shangri-la.dropbear.id.au //__ Computer Science, RMIT WWW: http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/~zen
