Re: NEW TIME ZONE

As I've mentioned here before, NEW_TIME does not automatically handle DST conversions. Nor does it take care of the several places in the US that do not use DST such as Eastern Indiana and Arizona. You need to write your own code to manage time zones and DST conversions. For a good source of the time zones and DST rules in effect, check out www.timeanddate.com. And keep in mind the DST rules and start/end dates can and do change every year depending on the whims of governments.
