The point of that was (I would guess) to point out that time() is supposed to be UTC-based, with gmtime and localtime available to display it according to your whim. It's only now that we hear that localtime() is giving you a problem.	[reply]

Maybe your system clock is wrong? Are you on a *nixy system? What do you get when you type "`date`" at your friendly local shell prompt? -- edan	[reply]
