Very interesting, but can someone tell me:
Other than issuing another SETCLOCK TIMEZONE... how can I tell what timezone
I'm set for? SHOWTIME doesn't reveal it, nor is there an HPTZ variable.
We've used the SETVAR TZ=EST-10EDT since MPE/XL 4.0, as the C libraries have
always depended on these - has that dependancy been removed, amended,
emended, supplicated, subjugated or ignored? Is this relevant for COBOL,
PASCAL and the intrinsic (non-posix) library?
GMT/UT is great! But I'm getting confused by how many time zone methods
there are and where these are used.
Cheers (right here, right now!) from a bloke who went 3 months waiting on
his watch to be repaired.
