Michael,

About the TZ issue, does the problem still occur if you use the
full TZ variable?

in my case:

SET TZ=CET-1CDT,3,-1,0,3600,10,-1,0,3600,3600

for Switzerland or only if you use the short form of SET
TZ=CET-1CDT (or whatever)? As far as I know, the short form will
default to the US-standard of DST changes. To implement European
standard I believe that you need to say exactly when the time
change will occur.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Simon Wright.
