I'm not sure it'll change. You're on Windows, and Windows is stupid this way, preferring to spell out "Central Daylight Time" instead of "CDT"; I have yet to figure out how to get the output from a Windows format string to be abbreviated or better yet to return a +/- offset. It is the "Central Daylight Time" that is causing the parsing to be incorrect, because most date systems are sensible. It may be worth reporting a bug to the tracker on RubyForge.org. If you can figure out a patch, that's even better and you can also put it in the same place. -austin -- Austin Ziegler * halostatue / gmail.com * http://www.halostatue.ca/ * austin / halostatue.ca * http://www.halostatue.ca/feed/ * austin / zieglers.ca
