Hi Alex
Thanks for the response and sorry to bother you with what is probably not all that important, but if I use the Galileo with students, they are sure to ask why it gives the wrong time. Actually I spent way longer than 15 minutes and couldn't find a list of Time Zone Variables for locations outside of the North America, Australia/New Zealand and parts of Europe. I would suggest that a table be added to the getting started guide.
If the system calls aren't using a shell, how are shell commands being execuated and is there any way to set environment variables? Can you send me a link to how the system command works? I assumed it interfaced with the shell, but maybe as a different user. I tried using the system command to set the TZ, but that didn't work either.
I guess I can just convert the string to an integer and subtract the difference and then change the date based on the result to get the correct time and date, but there should be a better way,
Thanks
