[Zope] ZopeTime wrong but Hardware Clock right.

[Bruce Elrick]

Jason,

You wouldn't happen to be at GMT-7 (MST or CDT)?  On UNIX the hardware clock
is set to GMT and the timezone is used to print the correct local time, with
all times stored using GMT.  Windows (98 at least, not sure about NT) sets the
hardware clock to local time.  Most Linux distributions allow you to choose to
set the hardware clock to local standard time or GMT for the cases where you
are dual booting.

Zope correctly figures out the time zone and prints the adjusted local time
(using the same system calls that other programs use).

Hope that helps...
Bruce
