Devin: thanks!
"set the $TZ" a perfect little gift on this Happy Makara
Sankranti/Thai Pongal.
Big feast day in India today, sun moved into Capricorn, celebrate the
post monsoon harvest. Tomorrow we will decorate and worship our lovely
New Jersey cows.

"Sweet" - linux web server Cento OS6.2)
How easy is this....
------------------------
<?lc
# copied the list from html source at:
http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc
# stripped the html in BBEdit to save as plain text file
# This server lives in San Francisco and we just leave the box TZ set
# towhere it really is PST. Other time zones are calculated from there.
put url "file:/home/devhap/public_html/tests/zones.txt" into tZones
repeat for each line x in tZones
# Extract the city from each line and leave the rest
set the itemdel to "/"
if (the number of items of x) = 1 then
put x into tCity
else
put item 2 of x into tCity
end if
put x into $TZ
# or whatever time zone(s) you want to show
# easy enough to allow the user to enter or pick their city and
# add a little AJAX for them to fetch their own time, too...
put shell("date") into tDTstring
put tCity & ": " & tDTstring & "<br />" after tWorldTimes
end repeat
put tWorldTimes
-----------------
but now... trick will be: if you want to set a time in advance and then
get your list from that and not from the current moment?
put another way: this list is generated for this very moment at "box
time" (PST) but if I want to set it to Future Webinar Date/Time and
fetch calculated the "World Times" based on that future date/time...
will need to think about that...
Swasti Astu, Be Well!

Setting the $TZ variable right before called the date command returns the
date/time the specified timezone. At least it works on the on-rev servers.
