The program uses CET which is the abbreviation for Central European Time which is UTC+1. If the UTC time is now 12:00:00 the local time in CET+1 must be 14:00:00 (and not 13:00:00). Accordingly the local time in CET+2 must be 15:00:00. Why Boost.DateTime appends "CET" to the local time in CET+2 I don't understand either.

From http://www.boost.org/doc/html/date_time/local_time.html#date_time.local_time... 'offset' is the offset from UTC.

Thanks, I missed this. CET doesn't have any measning then (at least not in my example)? Boris
