I think most of my platforms will work fine (FreeBSD 4.x, GNU/Linux,
Solaris, MacOS X). I am not sure about the CRAY... Let me see:
ssh login.cray-cyber.org

[mdb@yel mdb]$ echo $TZ
MET-1MET,M3.5.0,M10.5.0

[mdb@yel mdb]$ date

[mdb@yel mdb]$ date

[mdb@yel mdb]$
Let me see what the man page for environ has to say about TZ
[mdb@yel mdb]$ man -s 7 environ
...
TZ Time zone information. The format is xxxnzzz where xxx is
standard local time zone abbreviation, n is the difference
in hours from GMT, and zzz is the abbreviation for the
daylight-saving local time zone, if any; for example,
EST5EDT.
...
[mdb@yel mdb]$ TZ=Pacific/Honolulu date
Fri Apr 15 07:07:12 2005
[mdb@yel mdb]$
That said, I doubt if this will be a big problem given that CRAY doesn't
yet support client/server as I have only been able to get :local: to
work on it.
