      A timezone setting of Indiana East under Windows NT 4.0 is not being correctly interpreted. The default timezone returned is GMT. If I set my timezone to EST it is correctly interpreted.

      Feedback from european licensee :-

      There are other european timezones are not being recognised :-

      "E. Europe Standard Time" = Karachi (GMT +05.00)

      Also Berlin, Stockholm, Rome etc. but these can be worked around by using Paris
      (also GMT +01.00).

      Another issue is that GetTimeZoneInformation() returns unicode and the
      return value is being compared using strcmp() -- will this code break in
      some locales (Japen?).
