I tested out the TimeZone library with a couple of randomly chosen timezones - 
and they all came back incorrect (i.e. unchanged from UTC even though the 
timezones should have been different). I know that if you pass in a timezone 
that is not in the local machine's database, it will silently return the UTC 
value - but that's not the case here.

I've now looked at it more closely - some of these timezones give the right 
answer, some give the wrong answer - though they are all in the TimeZones() 
list.


Alex,

After you mentioned the problems with the timezone library I had a look and it 
turns out that some of the timezones on the TimeZones() list are deprecated and 
they resolve to UTZ.
I forgot to post that I bug reported the problem in case anyone runs into it.

Kind regards
