[SLUG] tool for displaying time in different timezones?

Anyone know of a tool for displaying the tool in different timezones? At
the moment I have my BIOS clock on UTC and just use tzconfig to see the
time in the desired zone.

I've grepped through the package list in aptitude, not found anything...

Here is a shell script I use to show me the times I'm interested in:

#!/bin/sh

ZBASE=/usr/share/zoneinfo

ZONES=
US/Pacific
US/Eastern
Europe/London
Europe/Zurich
Australia/NSW


for Z in ${ZONES}
do
  (
export TZ=:${ZBASE}/${Z}
printf %-15s %s\n ${Z} $(date)
  )
done

Thanks everyone, I'm having a play with all the different solutions -
handy to both have a script to migrate between machines and gui tools.

slashtime: just a little Perl script I wrote up a few years back, but I
still find it rather handy. It's thing is showing the offset from where
you are, rather than from GMT (which is bloody useless)
http://research.operationaldynamics.com/projects/scripts/#slashtime

As it happens, I've also written a GTK version, which runs rather
nicely, but it needs a bit of work on the UI to select places of
interest before I can release it as a standalone program
