I have a recent install of CYGWIN running under Windows XP on a powermac 
(under Paralllels).
The time on Windows is set correctly, but date returns the wrong date 
(and the wrong times on files).
It reports times in GMT.   

I want to change the timezone to PDT (pacific daylight time).   By 
experimentation, I found
that I can reset the timezone environment variable to EST by setting 
TZ=EST, but  the
similar TZ=PST or TZ=PDT has no effect.

Thanks
