Anybody out there know if one can set the correct TimeZone for
Pine?  The clients at my site are using -0800 PST by default;
we need it to reset it to: -0500 EST.

Thanks for any help...

You simply set the environment variable TZ a la Unix: set TZ=EST5EDT or 
whatever is appropriate for your time zone.

However, there is a known bug in pcpine_w 3.91 (read the enclosed
forwarded message) that makes this feature erroneus during daylight saving
time.

You can set the time zone with the TZ environment variable.
set TZ=ZZZ[+H]H[:MM:SSTTT]
everything in [] is optional

ZZZ = time zone
+H = offset from GMT
TTT = daylight savings time

the default is PST-8PDT

i.e to set to EST
set TZ=EST-5EDT

cac.washington.edu has a file tech-notes which explains all this.
