What i mean is that instead of subtract 4 it sum 4 to the GMT ... Do
you see the diferences?
I think this is ilogical or am i doing something wrong?
AFAICS, that's the way it's defined. See at the end of
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap08.html the
explanation of TZ:
The offset is "the value added to the local time to arrive at Coordinated
Universal Time." That's also supported by "If preceded by a '-', the timezone
shall be east of the Prime Meridian" in that standard. That this is not the way
it's expressed on http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/ is an other issue. :-) Maybe
you find more explanations on that site.
Cheers,
Joachim
