Error Messages
"Out of Environment Space"
* See your DOS manual for the procedure to correct this error
"No System Timers Available"
* Windows(TM) allows a maximum of 16 timers to be active at one time.
GMT Clock uses 1 timer. If you get this error, close some other
applications so that a timer will become available.
"TimeZone Environment Variable Not Set"
* GMT Clock uses the 'TZ' Environment variable to calculate GMT time.
See Setting Up for a description of how to add this to your system.
*Time Zone Environment Variable
This is the format of the TZ environment string:
TZ = zzz[+/-]d[d][lll]
Component What It Represents
zzz Three-character string representing the name
of the current time zone. All three characters are required.
(EST=Eastern Standard Time, CST=Central Standard Time,
etc.)
[+/-]d[d] Required field containing an optionally signed
number with 1 or more digits. This number is the local time
zone's difference from GMT in hours.
- Positive numbers adjust westward from GMT.
- Negative numbers adjust eastward from GMT.
This number is used in the calculation of timezone.
lll Optional three-character field that represents the local
time zone's daylight saving time.
- If this field is present, daylight savings is in effect.
- If this field is absent, daylight savings is NOT in effect.
If the TZ environment string isn't present or isn't in the specified
form, it presumes a default TZ = "EST5EDT" for the purpose
of caculating GMT time.
