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.
