</div>I just committed these to trunk, with one modification to the startup - the timezone is set unconditionally (independent of useLocale).<br>
<br>
The timezone is only set on startup. So restart the image or evaluate "Locale startUp: true".<br>

DateAndTime now<br>

after:<br>
<br>
DateAndTime now<br>
==> 2010-01-15T12:24:02.452+01:00<br>
<br>
(note the last four digits which are the local time offset)<br>

DateAndTime now asUnixTime<br>
