No. Not necessarily. It depends on your TZ setting. It might reasonably mean +1000, for example. One cannot rely on "EST" meaning -0500. Nor can one rely on "PDT" meaning -0700; that can also be overridden by a TZ setting. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
