------=_NextPart_000_0004_01BF2558.5B68AE40 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I am running Cygwin on my Windows 95 PC haveing installed the binary = distribution. Last week I ran the 'date' command and found that the time = reported was 1 hour earlier than it should - ie it was reporting GMT = rather than taking account of Daylight Saving (BST). As our clocks have = now gone back the time is correct but only because it defaults to GMT. = Next Spring it will all go horribly wrong again! The Cygwin date command gives -> Tue Nov 2 17:31:16 1999 whereas the MKS Toolkit gives -> Tue Nov 2 17:31:48 GST 1999 How can I get Cygwin 'date' to recognize the timezone on a Win95 (or = NT4) machine?
