Hi Jay.
>I'm communicating with a server that is in Iowa. When I get a response back from them, it is in CST, but I need it for whatever time zone the application is running in. How can I know this, and convert it? There is no guarantee that the server will always be in Iowa either. For now that isn't the burning issue, but if there is a way to handle that, I would be interested in how.
