I take it back, there's no bug. It's just that it has to generate _all_ the time zone changes up to the year 9999!! That's going to take a while. I'd recommend using a year a little closer to our own. DT::TZ ships with the changes pre-generated 30 years out, so dates in that range are quick. Dates within a couple hundred years out aren't too bad either, but thousands of years ahead will be slow. I should probably document this somewhere more obvious. -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
