Nor am I. POSIX bug 1619 is one of mine, which has/had nothing to do with the TZ definition, that change just got bolted on as an freebie... | The biggest glitch I can see with the wording as applied is that it says | that TZ="America/New_York" will set "The timezone names for standard | time (std) and, if observed, for DST (dst) to be used by tzset()." Yes, there is unfortunately a very limited understanding of how local time sometimes works in that group. | Presumably this glitch is related to POSIX also considering adding | support for tm_gmtoff and tm_zone - do you know what's going on there? That happened. If you want I will dig out the bug number. When the next draft appears I will be checking all of the time related structs & funcs again. kre
