X-Hacker.org- Reference Manual for GoldED 2.51 - Norton Guide http://www.X-Hacker.org [<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]

     Specifies the  difference in  hours and  minutes from  GMT/UT. Note
     that the sign must be  correct. Zones WEST of Greenwich  have (!!!)
     NEGATIVE(!!!) offsets. Some examples:

         -1000   Alaska-Hawaii Standard Time
         -0900   Hawaii Daylight Time
         -0800   Pacific Standard Time
         -0700   Pacific Daylight Time
         -0700   Mountain Standard Time
         -0600   Mountain Daylight Time
         -0600   Central Standard Time
         -0500   Central Daylight Time
         -0500   Eastern Standard Time
         -0400   Eastern Daylight Time
         -0100   West Africa Time
         +0000   Greenwich Mean Time
         +0100   Central European Time
         +0100   British Summer Time
         +0200   Central European Summer Time
         +0200   Eastern European Time
         +0700   West Australian Time
         +0800   West Australian Daylight Time
         +0800   China Coast Time
         +0900   Japan Standard Time
         +0900   Central Australian Standard Time
         +1000   East Australian Standard Time
         +1000   Central Australian Daylight Time
         +1100   East Australian Daylight Time
         +1200   New Zealand Standard Time
         +1300   New Zealand Daylight Time

     Note that the hh in a timezone offset can go up to about 14; it  is
     not limited to 12. This is because the International Date Line does
     not run exactly along the boundary between zone -1200 and +1200.

     The timezone offset is currently only used for the RFC Date  header
     in Internet messages.

     And just to  remove any doubt,  here is a  quote from the  document
     often called "Son of RFC1036":

         === CUT ===
         NOTE: There is frequent confusion, including errors in some news
         software, regarding the sign of numeric timezones. Zones west of
         Greenwich have negative offsets. For example, North American
         Eastern Standard Time is zone -0500 and North American Eastern
         Daylight Time is zone -0400.
         === CUT ===

     SO IF  YOU USE  THIS KEYWORD,  PLEASE MAKE  SURE YOU  GET THE  SIGN
     RIGHT!!!
