AW: [En-Nut-Discussion] Setting Local Time Zone

[Oliver Schulz]

Hi Dusan,

well I tried to adopt to the standarc c library with these time functions. Since in standard c is no function to set the value of _timezone, I didn't write one.

In fact, it is described to manipulate _timezone directly, which is not very complicated I think.

BTW, your suggestion does not work for odd timezones like for New Foundland, Teheran, Kabul, Calcutta, Kathmandu, Rangoon and of course Adelaide!

Regards,
Oliver.
