I didn't know about  ⎕TZ.  I'm not sure why it would be assignable, but if
it is, it certainly shouldn't be in a saved workspace!  If I give my
workspace to someone in a different time zone, it would always be wrong.

I just checked IBM APL2.  They way it works makes sense.  It works as
follows:

1.  ⎕TZ defaults as is correct for the local machine.

2.  ⎕TZ is assignable.

3.  Changing the value of ⎕TZ survives and is unchanged by )CLEAR and )LOAD.

4.  )SAVE and )LOAD have no affect on ⎕TZ

5.  If APL is exited and restarted, ⎕TZ returns to the local system
appropriate value.

If GNU APL did this.  It would be perfect.

Thanks.

Blake
