Setting >TZ=US/Eastern or TZ=EST or TZ=EDT doesn't work. How are timezones described in >Cygwin? Cygwin's localtime() can understand zoneinfo style (TZ=US/Eastern) timezones provided you have the zoneinfo database. The latest code/data can be found at: ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode2000d.tar.gz ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2000d.tar.gz Unpack both of these in the same directory. Apply the attached patch (you'll probably want to change the default LOCALTIME in the Makefile to your local timezone, or change it later with /usr/local/etc/zic -l US/Eastern). Then, "make INSTALL". The date command (from shellutils) does not display the timezone (from tzset()/tzname[]) because newlib's strftime() does not implement %Z. However, the tzcode package includes a date/strftime that works better in this respect. If this is what you want, you can move the default /bin/date.exe aside. Hope this helps.
