   It does.

   It is, until this fall, when you will need to change it back to -0800 when you    
   fall back to standard time.  There is extended syntax for the TZ environment    
   variable that allows you to specify when the time springs forward and falls    
   back.  This (if supported by BBBS) would in theory allow you to set it and    
   forget it, because the software would have all information needed to decide if    
   you were currently on standard time or daylight savings time.
