Defintely, yes! I now use that TimeZone object.
Thanks a lot.
No worries, you are very welcome.
IIRC, Java gets the system time from the OS, so it shouldn't matter how
the time is set by the OS (I use ntp, too ).
I have had problems in the past with my times being an hour out. The
clock was set to NTP but, the hardware clock was set to BST (I think)
because that's what it was set to when the PC was first set up.
Reading the time was ok, because NTP set it to UTC aka GMT but some
software was reading the hardware clock and some was adjusting for
BST/UTC as appropriate, and getting it all wrong.
This was Windows 2000 by the way.
Confused? I was! ;-)
Cheers,
Norm.
