The problem with keeping a DOS PC on GMT is that all your non-djgpp
programs will report the "wrong" time.  Most notably, "dir" will report
file times in GMT.

To solve this problem, I keep my PC on Eastern time and set TZ=EST0EDT.
This seems to keep everything happy - and showing a consistent time.
