Usually you will have an environment variable TZ, but at least in Windows this is not usually well formed and it is basically the most easy representation without daylight saving. In my case, Spain, I get TZ=GMT-1 and the right one should be TZ=CET-1CEST In my experience is much better to ask the user for the right time zone based in a bunch of cities, a lot of computers have a wrong time zone, I saw spanish computers with time zone Mexico, Colombia, Argentina... The user simply change local time and go on. -- Best regards, José _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
