i've got dates in gmt, that i'd like to display as local time: no
problem, just add:
set datetime to datetime + (time to GMT) -- tvpi is utc; set to
local
works great...if the date in question is in the current dst status.
but if the date is say "01jan07 10:00amGMT" which is ("01jan07
05:00amEST") but if i convert it now, i get "01jan07 06:00amEDT"
is there a majick applescript incantation(tm;-) get the time to GMT
for the specific date?
You're in an area where daylight time is in effect, so if the date
you're converting is not during daylight time, you'll be an hour
off. Likewise, during a period when daylight time is not in effect,
and you convert a date/time that's in DST, you'll be an hour off the
other way.
Those of us in Hawaii or Arizona don't have to worry about that
problem. <g>
