System name: soup
Type and version: RTPC-ROMPC 7.3N
Display type: apa16
What were you trying to do?
Have the emacs mode-line time-of-day reflect a timezone other
than EST5EDT.
What's wrong:
When I 'setenv TZ PST8PDT', most programs (such as /bin/date and
/bin/ls and discuss) display the times in Pacific time. The time
displayed in the emacs mode line (via (display-time)) is still in
Eastern time. This is true with display-time-24hr-format both t and
nil.
What should have happened:
The time should show up based on the Pacific time zone.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
ctime(3)/tzset(3)
