Message-ID: <3435D616.3565@sympatico.ca> Date: Fri, 03 Oct 1997 22:37:26 -0700 From: Jim Chapman <jim DOT chapman AT sympatico DOT ca> Reply-To: jim DOT chapman AT sympatico DOT ca MIME-Version: 1.0 To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com Subject: date Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Precedence: bulk When I execute the command date with the TZ environment variable set to est5edt I assume it should give me the system clock time less 4 hours. It does figure out that it is now EDT but it gives me the system clock time. If I use the command date -u it still gives me the system clock time. Is there something else I need to set or is my assumption wrong? If my assumption is wrong why do I have all those zoneinfo files? Thanks, Jim Chapman
