Holger is right. It is ass (arse) backwards. I have 'SET TZ=GMT-09:30'
but in the header says +0930. In the real world both Holger and I are
ahead of GMT so "+" would appear correct but it is not how you use it in
AUTOEXEC. The other little problem I had to solve was our half-hour time
thing. It needs a colon. Only Adelaide, Bombay, and a few other obscure
places need worry about this.
If you are using AUTOEXEC you will have to manually change it when you
go on and off daylight time. It ain't automatic. Nobody knows when. Eg:
Indiana and Arizona do not have daylight time. Nor do some Australian
states and those that do can change at different times of the year.
There are plans to move the change forward next year two months earlier
because of the Olympic games. Some states will and some won't.
Daylight time is a moveable feast -- like Easter. It seems to depend on
the phase of the moon and the whim of politicians.
