There is.

The standard DateAndTime implementation in the image has #localTimeZone:

I for example use:

	sast := TimeZone timeZones fourth.
	sast offset.						" 0:02:00:00 - always two hours ahead"

	DateAndTime localTimeZone: sast.

	DateAndTime now. 					"2007-08-21T22:47:04+02:00 - as it should be"




Of course, the IDE would have told you this by browsing all references to class TimeZone - it is the first result.

Brent
