Yes, that would be great. Or something like
- NOW for the current local time
- NOW_UTC for the current GMT/UTC time
- TIME_ZONE (integer) would give +1 for UTC+0100 or -5 for UTC-0500
- DST_ON (integer) would give 1 if DST is active and 0 if not

Sweet dreams ;-)

With that I could only use Windows servers ...

Are you aware of a good tutorial on how to write UDFs with Delphi
*and* Kylix so I can have Windows and Linux?
