|    TZUTC kludge    |
|    15 May 19 13:13:58    |
      MSGID: 1:153/757.0 e751ad41       TZUTC: -0800       CHARSET: LATIN-1       Hello All,              I've noticed that my TZUTC kludge is off by 1 hour. It reads -0800, that is       correct in PST but it is PDT now so it should read -0700.              Reading in the docs about the TZ and TZUTC environment variables it is       recommended to set both to get correct time in BBBS. Until now I have not set       either and BBBS knows the correct TZUTC offset except in PDT.              I am unsure how to set those variables and haven't come upon a working combo       using trial and error.. :)              Has anyone figured out the correct pair for your location and if so can you       share? Maybe if I see a working pair of variables I can work out what I need       here on the west coast in pacific daylight saving time.              I have no TZ or TZUTC variables set now and if you look at my TZUTC it will       read -0800 while it is actually -0700 now in daylight saving time.              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-4        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 57/0 103/705 153/250 154/10 203/0 220/70 221/0       SEEN-BY: 226/17 100 229/354 426 452 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 267/800       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 292/854 317/2 3 322/757 342/200 393/68 396/45       SEEN-BY: 423/120 712/848 770/0 1 10 100 330 340 772/0 1 500 2452/250       PATH: 153/757 250 770/1 280/464 229/426           |
