Well, the values are correct in that some time zones return correct abbreviations like PDT, and other time zones return "GMT±HH:MM", depending on the time zone. Interestingly, NSTimeZone* tz = [NSTimeZone timeZoneWithName: @"UTC"]; NSString* abv = tz.abbreviation; returns "GMT+00:00". Not very nice. -- Rick _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
