- Use
-
- SET TZ=MST7MDT
-
- The first three letters are the standard-time timezone abbreviation, the
- number is thenumber of hours behind GMT, and the last three letters are the
- daylight-savings timezone abbreviation. Thus, the East Coast of the US is
- EST5EDT, Central is CST6CDT, and my own time zone is PST8PDT.

- I had the same problem, and tracked it down to the apallingly slow
- rendering of URL underlines. Get Alpha 4, and turn underlines off
- in mosaic.ini, and you should find it runs at an acceptable speed.
- In fact, it's very fast on some pages, but not on others - and
- this doesn't seem to have much connection with the complexity of
- the page. (I'm talking about rendering speed here, not download
- time). I'm waiting for the multi-threaded version before I give
- up cello for good, though.
