   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.
