At an old consulting job, I had to keep a windows partition around for crappy time-reporting software. I just told windows my local time zone was UTC, and this worked pretty well. Of course, the clock showed UTC, but at least any mail I sent from there didn't claim to be from 8 hours in the future any more. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- "As we enjoy great advantages from inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously." --Benjamin Franklin
