Subject: how do I set the time zone in PC PINE 3.89 ?

Anyone know how to set the time zone in PC PINE 3.89 ?

I am in EST (eastern), and PINE thinks I'm in PST (pacific).

I checked the docs, and cannot find a refercence to time, zone, tz
or anything like that.

Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can offer.

The following applies to PC-Pine 3.91, as well as 3.89.

I just went through this after installing PC-Pine for Winsock on a PC with 
Windows 95--Windows 95 has timezone specification built in, but Pine doesn't 
recognise it.  The only information I have found on timezones is in the Pine 
technical notes, which you can read at http://www.washington.edu/pine.

You have to set the timezone using the DOS command

  set TZ=EST [or whatever]

I have included this command in my AUTOEXEC.BAT file (I suppose it would also 
be possible to start Pine from a batch file that included the timezone 
setting).
