Sorry if people feel that times have been beaten to death.Environment is started task. In accordance with an earlier thread I am setting _TZ to 'EST5EDT' rather than the configured null so that strftime("%z") works as expected. I just discovered that that is throwing my local times off by 7 minutes. Does that make ANY sense to anyone? The times in question are coming from the following logic: tm* tmStruct; struct timeb timebuffer; ftime(&timebuffer); tmStruct = localtime(&timebuffer.time); I use ftime because I am also using the milliseconds. (I have a exactly the same problem with times derived from STCK, so the ftime is not the problem.)Initially the times are correct. However, after I issueint seRes = setenv("_TZ", "EST5EDT", 1); the times are off by exactly seven minutes. (Result time 7 minutes later or greater than actual.) Does that make sense to anyone? Any clues?
