Subject: Re: which TZ timezones does date command recognize?

At 23 April 2001 a discussion on how to set the TZ variable ended in Corinna
saying:
> Just for the records, the correct TZ string for the middle/central
> european timezone is

which seems work on my Danish (dont ask) Win2k using cygwin dll version
1.3.2.

I have a Windows NT 4 sp6a (US) installation on another machine with cygwin
dll version 1.3.1.

On the WinNT machine I do NOT need to set the TZ variable. Cygwin seems to
have been figuring it out itself as both date and date -u give the expected
result (taking into account that I am in GMT+1 timezone with daylight saving
on, just as in Corinna's mail above).

So my question is: how come I need to set the TZ variable on my Win2k
machine when cygwin seems to figure it out alone on the WinNT???

(please cc to me directly also).
