[Citadel Development] (no subject)

 I'm just asking for clarification.  From a programmer's perspective, 
there are a variety of APIs one may be using for any of a variety of 
reasons.  I can probably find some kind of solution, but I need to 
understand the problem IG is talking about.  At the moment, I don't 
understand, because so far, everything I've read suggests there's only one 
way to express a timezone according to POSIX standards, and that is 
through Olsen nomenclature via the TZ environment variable.  Obviously, IG 
is meaning something else when he says, 'unix time zone', but I don't know 
what that could be.  I'm hoping I can find some kind of solution that 
won't involve something specific to every flavor of unix out there.
