1. RE: TZ
Why don't you want to use includes?
Includes provide you with a way to write bits of reusable code, test it
and pack it away in a separate file, knowing that the code works and you
don't have to mess with it or even look at it again.
An include file is no different from your main source code except that
it can be in a different namespace.
There is no reason to not use include files. Although, it gets
cumbersome when you have 20 different include files all chained
together, but you quickly learn how to manage them.
You will not find very many sophisticated programs in the RDS archives
that don't use include files.
To answer your question though, AFAIK, the timezone is a windows
registry setting and is not found anywhere else on the computer system,
so you are probably not going to find an easier way of retrieving it.
