Timezone saving problem

Hi, I=B4m having a problem with timezone when setting file modification time. My timezone is -3 GMT and every time a try to set a modification time based on remote file the Rebol changes to 3 hours less the remote. Any idea how to change this behavior? Thanks. -- J=FAlio C=E9sar Santana

You mean, the remote file's modification date does not have a timezone, so Rebol assumes a timezone of zero, as in this example:

>> set-modes %afile [modification-date: 20-Feb-2005/1:25:00] >> get-modes %afile 'modification-date

== 20-Feb-2005/12:25+11:00 You can see the time was adjusted +11 hours to arrive in the future here in Australia. :) I think the solution is to add the correct timezone to the remote time before setting it to your local file. (Finding out the correct timezone might be a problem by itself... What timezone is the server in?) Anton.
