I believe that the new system call "gettimeofday" returns the time zone somewhere. There is also the "timezone" library call (right next to "ctime") and there is the "localtime" and "gmtime" that return the time zone as part of the "tm" structure. Perhaps you were thinking about one of these calls when you said "call ctime(3) and pick off the timezone part". William LeFebvre Department of Mathematical Sciences Rice University
