Subject: 1.3.2: date command does not show 3-letter time zone on NT.
Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2001 08:56:31 -0400
MIME-Version: 1.0
X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19)
Content-Type: text/plain;
	charset="iso-8859-1"

I have not tested this on any other Windows platform but NT.  To reproduce
the problem, open a cygwin shell and type "date".  On my system the results
look something like this:

bash-2.05$ date
Mon Jul 16 08:46:49  2001

Note that the 3-letter time zone abbreviation should appear between the time
and the year (for me that's EDT).

No combination of options will output the time zone including the most
obvious "date +%Z" (this produces blank output).

I tried changing to a few other time zones but no selection produced output
when using the date command.

My machine is an Intel Pentium 3 running Windows NT 4.0, SP 6.
