I used PST as an example, but it doesn't work with any other zone,
including GMT (our localtime is EET). I suspect it's a configuration
problem on our Digital machine (with Digital Unix 4.0F): zoneinfos are
under /etc/zoneinfo.
Do the functions use those files or it's just an OS call? Is configure
involved at all in this area?
Thanks again
