Ah... got it, I think.

Couldn't you just let the server take care of its local date and then
convert it at the user's end when you go to display it? If this is
strictly irev scripting then that won't work because you don't know
the user's info. But if you're using a revlet (and that *is* in the
subject, after all) then you should be able to convert the server's
internet time to the user's local time (assuming the local time on
their computer is correct).
