[Zope] Date Problem

[Daniel Rusch]

We had the same problem. It has to do with zope returning dates in GMT.
So sometimes you have the correct day and sometimes it's a different
"day" in England. 

We made a dtml method called CentralDateTime:

<dtml-var "(ZopeTime()).toZone('US/Central')" fmt="Day" >, <dtml-var
"(ZopeTime()).toZone('US/Central')" fmt="fCommonZ" >

Seems to work for us.
