Hi Richard;
I'm guessing that's for Win95 ?
I tried: Set TZ=-0500 without any luck in W3.1.
It would appear for most cases that the 3 letter code for daylight savings
time is simply your regular code with the middle "S" changed to "D" so in
my case that would be SET TZ=EST 05 EDT (spaces optional). Others may be
more complex. It isn't clear if the DST specification actually causes any
calculation to be performed.
It is also possible that the time offset is not in integer hours so that
may be specified as 03:30 for example for Newfoundland.
Having a proper search string, it is now possible to find many documents
about how to set the Timestamp. Try a GOOGLE search for SET TZ=aaahhbbb.
My source was the 4th and 5th that will be found by this method.
The first found (cached) is actually much better.
