Have any of you had to display local time on a server that uses GMT?
I'm searching around Google trying to figure out how best to calculate
NY time.  I don't want to just subtract 6 from the hour, because then
I'd have to manually change the code twice a year.

It seems that the setlocale method *might* work, but I can't figure
out what to send it.  Calling it as:

setlocale( LC_TIME, "EST" );

doesn't seem to do the trick.  Help?

TIA,
-c
