BIOS/EFI (or qemu host) time set to local time, FreeDOS-1.4 time continually reports +4 hours ahead. sntp.exe (an upper level/user application), when executed, sees TZ variable and prints the TZ variable contents. Last night prior to posting the initial post here, I searched the FreeDOS source code (https://github.com/FDOS), found no mentions of any time zones. (eg. EDT/EST,CDT/CST, ...) within the kernel or freecom c ode. Nor did I find any mention of TZ varaible, as to why I assumed it was just a variable declared within the environment rather anything to do with the system time. On the flip, stumped how FreeDOS would know my timezone is -4 from GMT/UTC. Roger
