time zone

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

I think your problem is Java. There is a time zone fix for Java. 
I don't recall the details, but there is a short test program that John

Save the code below as Test.java.
To compile it: javac javac Test.java
To run it: java Test

public class Test
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        System.out.println(new java.util.Date());
