I give up. Here is what I have done to fix the problem for now. I have used <dtml-var "ZopeTime().toZone('GMT-5').strftime('%H:%M')"> Instead of <dtml-var "ZopeTime().toZone('Jamaica').strftime('%H:%M')"> I feel that Zope's DateTimeZone.py might have 'Jamaica' in the wrong time zone or daylight saving ???

Aparently Jamaica is not timezone for Windows 2000 Server, so the server has -5:00 GMT/US/Eastern(No Daylight Savings Time) <dtml-var "ZopeTime()"> gives me 2001/04/04 21:00:00.765 US/Eastern <dtml-var "ZopeTime().strftime('%H:%M')"> gives me say 22:00 <dtml-var "ZopeTime().toZone('Jamaica').strftime('%H:%M')"> also gives me 22:00 In my forms I use the .strftime() function. Any idea what's happening here. Why does using .strftime() give an extra hour??

Hi all,
Zope time is wrong, it is (1)one hour ahead of (Windows 2000) Server time. Windows time is correct and daylight savings is unchecked.
Jamaica is (GMT -5).
How do I correct ZopeTime????
Mohan.
You might check /lib/python/DateTime/DateTime.py The TZ, cdt was set to GMT-2 and when we went to DST in the US/Central TZ many of us lost a couple of hours. <s> Maybe that was 'supposed' to be another TZ??? But it was detected as US Central Daylight Time.
