Re: winter and summer time confusion in clock and tcl 8.4.12 and 8.5a4 (starpack)

Hi Ralf,

to your questions:

| - is TZ set on the commandline prior to invoking tclsh? Does
| 'date' report the correct date on the commandline?

I'm on MS Windows XP SP2 and the environment variable TZ is not set.
The MS date and time commands of the command shell show the correct
date and time.

| - is TZ set: $env(TZ) *in* tclsh?

No - inside the starpack the variable env(TZ) is not set.

Can I help with more information?

Best regards,

Just tested your example on windows with the latest 8.5a4 RC..., and it
does show the correct time.

Could it be that the starkit you use does not have a copy of the
timezone files which are part of 8.5, to save on the size of the tclkit?

When i rename the folder tzdata in my tcl/lib dir and retest your code,
it returns results that are similiar to yours, so you may simply be
missing the olson based tzdata files (which are not needed on all
platforms).
