JP>                SET TZ=EST5EDT

JP>  Which I think is the proper format. It keeps asking for the TZ. Is

Jean, I know this reply is quite a bit late but I had a thought.

To see if the TZ= was set properly in your AUTOEXEC.BAT try going to
what ever they call a DOS screen in XP, and typeing SET <Enter> to see
your settings on that computer.
It may be your program fooling around with your mind and not accepting
the TZ= setting you have already set up.

From what I have read about XP it is either CMD or COMMAND to do it.
