[Gambas-user] Beware to revision #7983!

[Jussi Lahtinen]

Benoit is it possible add this timezone conversion suggestion to CDate()?

Date = CDate ( Expression AS Variant [, InputTimeZone AS Integer,
OutputTimeZone AS Integer ] ) AS Date

This way you could tell CDate what is the timezone you are using and in
what timezone you need the answer. I think it would decrease the confusion
and add new functionality.

What do you think?
