I'm even more confused after looking at the URL and test file you suggested. All of the examples in those documents require you to explicitly construct and provide a time zone using a name or an offset from UTC. I don't want to have to hardcode a timezone in my program -- I just want to use whatever time zone that the user has configured on their computer. The c_local_adjustor did this for me in 1.32 (although as noted in my original email, it only solves half of the problem). Perhaps I missed something in the URL you sent, but I didn't see anything in there which simply uses the timezone in use on the local machine.
I see -- hopefully the answer in the other email will point to the solution of the problem. Your comment does make me think there should be a portable way to manfacture an instance of a timezone based on the computer settings. Seems like a valid use case, although there may be technical difficulties doing it... Jeff
