Yes indeed. You're right, I'm wrong.

Of course it's on the sixth of April.

Just to be sure, some lines from irb:

irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'time'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> Time.parse( "2005/04/06 18:00" )
=> Wed Apr 06 18:00:00 Westeuropäische Sommerzeit 2005
irb(main):003:0>


Happy rubying

BTW, is there a way to make it display CEST on win32 too?

I'd be interested in an answer to this question, too.
A positive one, to be precise. :-)

Anyway, it's not trivial I'd guess, since the abbreviations aren't
unique, although CEST is (at least as far as I know).
So even if you could make your Win32 system return "CEST" (or "MESZ" as
it's abbreviated in Germany) you'd probably be out of luck if you take
your note book with you to another place...


Happy rubying

But it should be possible to get the offset and map that onto a
timezone table...
