Sorry to be so slow, but wanted to check things out. When I changed it to
PST8PDT, then it worked. But your comment that it should work without the TZ. So went
and checked my other machine. It did not have it ( though it was AS 5.8.2 build 808
while my notebook is AS 5.6.1 Build 635), so maybe something had changed Perl wise. So
went ahead and removed, re-booted and it worked fine without the TZ. So that is the
way I will keep it.
Again thanks for the time, $Bill.
Wags ;)
