The issue is the only registry entry they have located so far has the Windows TZ stored as a text string and this is localised on non English Windows. In Windows is there a language [independent] reference for the TZ that machine is currently set to that we could utilise?
There is a way around this, but it's highly Windows-release dependent. For the gory details, I refer you to this code that someone who knows more about this wrote - http://search.cpan.org/src/DROLSKY/DateTime-TimeZone-0.81/lib/DateTime/TimeZ... If you look at the _FindWindowsTZName you can see it going through various gyrations to get the English name. -dave /*============================================================ http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) ============================================================*/
