Subject:	timezone problems: tm_isdst not set; strftime("%z") is -0000
X-mailer:	Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.12c)
Reply-To:	djgpp AT delorie DOT com

version: DJGPP 2.03 on Win98SE
environment: TZ=CST6CDT (also tried with c:/djgpp/zoneinfo/CDT6CDT)

problems:

    tm_isdst is not set correctly

    strftime "%z" (lowercase "z") shows -0000 offset
             ("%Z", upcase, shows "CDT")

demo:

Dumping tm_ptr:
  tm_sec      = 47
  tm_min      = 50
  tm_hour     = 9
  tm_mday     = 11
  tm_mon      = 3
  tm_year     = 100
  tm_wday     = 2
  tm_yday     = 101
  tm_isdst    = 0
  __tm_zone   = CST
  __tm_gmtoff = -21600

Dumping tzname:
  tzname[0] = CST
  tzname[1] = CDT

asctime = Tue Apr 11 09:50:47 2000

strtime:
  %a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z --> Tue, 11 Apr 2000 09:50:47 -0000
  %a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z --> Tue, 11 Apr 2000 09:50:47 CST
