I have found, that, for EMACS to know my time zone, I _have_ to put my
zoneinfo-files in C:/BIN/GCC/ZONEINFO.
Any other DJGPP program can use my normal location E:/DJGPP/ZONEINFO,
where I want it to be.
I looked into the EMACS.EXE-binary (installed in I:/EMACS/BIN, but
that's not important), and found the string `c:/bin/gcc/zoneinfo'
somewhere.
In addition, I found the string `TZDIR'. I presume this is a
environment-variable that can be set, but I tried it and couldn't make
it work. Have I missed some documentation somewhere, or isn't it
supposed to work?
After patching EMACS.EXE, putting `e:/djgpp/zoneinfo' instead of
`c:/bin/gcc/zoneinfo', everythings works ok, but I don't think that's
the way it's supposed to be fixed :)
Don't tell me I heva to recompile EMACS, because I like precompiled
binaries very much. I can't do much wrong myself with those.
