- Hello,
-
- I've been using ELM for a while (on RS/6000's - AIX - KORN shell) and we
- have two "networks" in two different time zones. Oddly enough, the sorting
- mechanism in ELM doesn't seem to recognize that 6:00 PM EST is earlier then
- 5:30 PM CST. The time it reports is always the 'local' time no matter where
- you are looking at it. Am I doing something wrong or is this bug? I have the
- $TZ environment variable set on both machines (EST5EDT and CST6CDT). Any
- help would be appreciated.
-
- Thanks
