That is why we NEED the tm_tzadj member added to the tm structure.
I'm not sure I follow how this follows. I agree that a tm_zone (ie: what zone this time was converted from) is needed, but I don't see the need for a separate time zone adjustment field.
We are agreeing. There is the need for a member (whether the name is tm_zone or tm_adj as it is in HP's implementation) in the tm structure which gives the difference between GMT and localtime in seconds. This applies specifically to the time value in the tm structure. Sorry about any confusion. Ron Tolley
