I really hate having Cygwin be "smart" like this. It seems like it's asking for a follow-on "How do I set TZ for my Windoze program???" email, followed by a "We need a CYGWIN environment variable option!" What's the problem with just unsetting TZ again? Yes, I know you have to remember to do it but does this affect enough programs that we need to add even more head standing code in Cygwin to accommodate it. cgf
