BBBS seems to get the time right ok in Pacific Standard Time. It's when we
spring ahead it doesn't change to Pacific Daylight Time. The computers clock
does change but the TZUTC: kludge doesn't.

I have found here that setting the TZ and TZUTC environments is needed, at
least in PDT. In my case I set TZ=PDT+7 and TZUTC=-0700 and now my TZUTC kludge
is correct.
