Timezone library - how to use in Livecode Server?

[Matthias Rebbe]

Thank you very much Mark. 
With that addition it works now. The timezone library is a great enhancement for Livecode Server. No need to call external php code to do timezone conversions.

And thanks for the ps. I can´t wait for 9.1 to test. :)

Regards

Matthias
