TZ, ZONE, TIMEZONE, settz(), ... ?

[Chris Torek]

I agree with kre:  The original design was wonderful.  The major
problem was that it was not---quite---compatible with 4BSD and with
SysV.  Yet the incompatibilities were in areas that everyone agrees
were weak, and, moreover, in areas that were mutually incompatible
anyway!  Any new standard *must* break some code.  Let it break
code that was acknowledged insufficent, and by replacing it with
code that has been tested and found satisfactory.
