# To Paul's list of time zone information on the web, I would add the
|
|
# following URL:

# <A HREF="http://www.dhl.com/dhl/dhlinfo/1bb.html">http://www.dhl.com/dhl/dhlinfo/1bb.html</A>

|
# This is run by DHL (the courier company), and it presents a list of the
|
|
# countries served by that company. If you then click on a particular
|
|
# country, here's an example of what you'll see (graphics stripped out):

# CURRENT LOCAL TIME: 09:41 Monday 6 November 1995

|
# I find this rather handy, and given that DHL covers 217 countries and
|
|
# territories, it's pretty comprehensive coverage.
|
|
#
|
|
# (I have no idea what system DHL is using to calculate the local time, but
|
|
# it's been accurate so far.)
