Hi, what is the correct TZ variable in PINE? Please reply in email as I don't
subscribe to this group, thanks.

Try this:

Packet Drivers

Pine needs to be made aware of the PC's  net-
work  configuration  file.   Simply  edit the
file WATTCP.CFG included in the Pine  distri-
bution.   The  file  includes 5 configuration
settings--IP-address,    gateway,    netmask,
nameserver(s)  and domainslist. If you have a
network configuration file  for  NCSA  Telnet
then  WATTCP.CFG is just a pared down version
of the  CONFIG.TEL  file  you  already  made.
Take a look at CONFIG.TEL to find the correct
settings for WATTCP.CFG.  Once the configura-
tion  file is made, the DOS environment vari-
able WATTCP.CFG needs to point  at  it.   For
example:

set WATTCP.CFG=C:\PINE

In addition to  networking  software  issues,  you
might  need  to worry about setting the time zone.
PC-Pine includes the time zone as part of outgoing
email.  There is a generic way for PC applications
to get the time zone, but, because PC-Pine is  one
of  a  very  few  applications which requires this
information, time zone  might  not  be  previously
configured.

The trick is to add an environment  variable,  TZ,
to your PC's AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The format for the
TZ environment variable is as follows:

               ZZZ[+H]H[:MM:SSTTT]

First is the 3-letter code for your standard time,
then  a  "+" or a "-" for direction of offset from
GMT, then the amount of  offset  (hours,  minutes,
seconds)  and  finally  the 3-letter code for your
summer- or daylight savings time.   Everything  in
[] brackets is optional.

    The default time zone is "PST-8PDT" (U.S.  Pacific
Time).  Coincidentally, Microsoft is headquartered
in that time zone.

As an example, people in the Eastern part  of  the
US  should  add  this  line  to their AUTOEXEC.BAT
files:

                   TZ=EST-5EDT
