Subject: Re: problem opening the time class

pharrington,

Thanks for the reply.

From time.rb (the standard library)

class Time
  class << Time

    ZoneOffset = {
      'UTC' => 0,
      # ISO 8601
      'Z' => 0,
      # RFC 822
      'UT' => 0, 'GMT' => 0,
      'EST' => -5, 'EDT' => -4,
      'CST' => -6, 'CDT' => -5,
      'MST' => -7, 'MDT' => -6,
      'PST' => -8, 'PDT' => -7,
      # Following definition of military zones is original one.
      # See RFC 1123 and RFC 2822 for the error in RFC 822.
      'A' => +1, 'B' => +2, 'C' => +3, 'D' => +4,  'E' => +5,  'F' => 
+6,
      'G' => +7, 'H' => +8, 'I' => +9, 'K' => +10, 'L' => +11, 'M' => 
+12,
      'N' => -1, 'O' => -2, 'P' => -3, 'Q' => -4,  'R' => -5,  'S' => 
-6,
      'T' => -7, 'U' => -8, 'V' => -9, 'W' => -10, 'X' => -11, 'Y' => 
-12,
    }


I am trying to access the constant within.

Thanks,

Cris
