This code:

import std.c.stdio, std.date;
void main() {
    char [] fecha= toDateString(getUTCtime());
    printf("%.*s\n",fecha);
}

Produces this output: "Error: Switch Default date(609)". Am I missing
something? (dmd 0.76 for win)

It works fine when I try it ...

According to MSDN,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/sysinfo/ base/gettimezoneinformation.asp
GetTimeZoneInformation() API returns TIME_ZONE_ID_UNKNOWN if daylight saving
time is not used in the current time zone. Maybe this case should not be treated
as an error...

The same, under Linux (dmd 0.76), outputs:

Tue Dec 09 1969

(and this is *so* wrong, because I ran 'date' and I got: mié dic 17 21:22:51 ECT 2003, so something is wrong)

Also, a small suggestion: (when this is fixed) can we have a toString(d_time
time,char [] format) so we can specify the kind of output we want?

Works for me! (WinXP)

However, changing the TimeZone wield the following error for Osaka Japan, West Central Africa, Monrovia, and many others:

Error: Switch Default date(609)

I have it under Bogotá, Quito, Lima (GMT-5). Maybe that's the reason.

Sorry, I meant Eastern Time (GMT-5) right below Bogota.

Yes, NY works, but I want to have my comp properly configured ;). Oddly, Indiana doesn't work either (Indiana is more appropiate for me: there's no day light saving hour). Anyway, it's obviously a bug.
