        Hello Gerald, we were saying ! 

 GM> The Time Zone variable has always been a very misunderstood issue. 

        I do not think so, Gerald. I have been using this for a few
  years, maybe 45. I got muddeld a bit when going to Newfoundland with
  their 30 minute time difference

 GM> I think that someone has already advised you that the "EST5EDT" _may_
 GM> require a "-" before the "5" digit...

        Not in this case, if I recall well.

 GM> Could you tell me what program requires the TZ variable?

        It is an astronomy ( not astrology ) PRG. I gave the URL on a
        previous post.  www.fourmilab.ch , ch is in Switzerland.

 GM> I am running two programs (on a MS-DOS v6.22 box) that require Time
 GM> Zone variables and neither will use the same variable.

        Yes, it depends how it was coded.
