Im working with NSTimezone and I need to get the current timezone offset, but I'm finding this more difficult than I think it should be. I thought it might just be the way I'm looking at things, but I don't think so.
If create an NSTimezone object and then send that object a daylightSavingTimeOffset message, I get back, for Chicago, 3600. This is wrong, at least for my purposes, for two reasons: 1) The offset should negative. 2) Chicago is currently observing DST The value I would expect to see returned should be -3000. I get why the value 3600 is correct at least with respect to the magnitude, as I can see I have this link setup for my system: /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago But, why is it not negative? How do I get the correct offset.
