On the Motorola Delta 3000 series, running 3.51 (haven't had time to
upgrade yet), our UUCP stamps everything EST/EDT, and I have not been able
to find a way to make it use PST/PDT. Yes, TZ=PST8PDT. Any ideas?

I assume you are using System V/68 Release 3 version 5.1. The uucp timestamp problem is built in to System V Release 3. There is no simple way to change it. You might be able to do something clever like moving your uucico to uucico.real and creating a new uucico which is a shell script that does nothing but set the time zone and invoke uucico.real with all of its arguments. I haven't tried this, but can't think of any reason it shouldn't work. Let us all know how it goes! -- Ron Heiby, heiby@chg.mcd.mot.com Moderator: comp.newprod "Mandatory Drug Testing?
