As you can see at the citation in above, output from date is still incorrect. I'm setting TZ=JST-9 for our standard time. The output should be like this; Thu May 15 00:35:20 JST 1997 (This is same as output from date of FreeBSD and Solaris. Did GNU change default output format?) Thank you. -- ANAZAWA, Akio - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
