Daylight Savings or TimeZone Problem - I Can't Sync Up!



When I attempt to run the program "PilotManager" and sychronize my Sun/Solaris/Ultra1 work station with my palm pilot, a window popps open stating "Pay Attention!"  "Your OS has a bug in the time of day code.  This bug causes the dates to slowly travel backward in time and interferes with the PilotManager's performance.  This bug is caused by having a bad timezone environment variable setting.  Your timezone is set to US/Pacific you might try setting it to a more specific timezone, for example US/Pacific maps to:  PST8PDT."

I therefore set TZ=PST8PDT.  I then closed all application and logged out and logged back in.  I then used the shell command, echo $TZ, and confirmed that TZ=PST8PDT.

It didn't help.  PilotManager still refuses to let me sync up!

If anyone knows how to fix this pleae email me at "craig.osullivan@xxxxxxxxxxx" or call me at (408) 544-0222.

Thanks
