A week ago, I posted an article asking for help with the TZ command.
I recieved a couple of usefull answers, but my problem persists.
The following code shows what I mean:

% tz                            <----- This is the current timezone
Timezone:       EST
Delta from UTC: -5:00

% /bin/date                     <---- Output of the BSD4.3 date command
Wed Apr  3 15:45:53 EST 1991
% tz edt                        <---- Change the timezone
% tz
Timezone:       EDT
Delta from UTC: -4:00

% /bin/date                     <---- Check the date, and it's wrong
Wed Apr  3 15:46:06 EST 1991
% tz                            <---- Verify the timezone
Timezone:       EDT
Delta from UTC: -4:00  

However, the date command under /com will work correctly.
Here, cdate is a copy of /com/date

% date
Wed Apr  3 15:52:38 EST 1991
% cdate
Wednesday, April 3, 1991   3:52:41 pm (EST)
% tz edt
% date 
Wed Apr  3 15:52:50 EST 1991
% cdate
Wednesday, April 3, 1991   4:52:53 pm (EDT)

Unfortunately, we do not distribute the /com directory with the o/s. We are
running bsd4.3.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Or, does the bsd4.3 date 
command simply look at a different clock?

Thanks for the help,

rob....
