That looks to be a variant of the one I use for MIMEHeaders.inc. Note everyone that the technique it uses isn't completely portable either by platform or by timezone. Windows, in particular, is inconsistent in what it returns in response to the %Z format (I can't remember whether most OS's return the three letter code or the long timezone name; if M$loth implemented %z correctly as the offset for UTC, this would all be so much easier). Bob has fixed this by checking for ("[date %Z]"^"Daylight")|("[date %Z]"^"CDT") but of course, this doesn't work unless your DST zone is CDT. As an additional problem, the ISO three-letter codes are themselves not unique, but they are always "locally" unique. Consequently, you need to tweek this code for each server you install.
