If I run 'date' I get differences without the TZ setting. (I get GMT output
vs. CET).
But I agree that it is not possible to list all TZ settings which are correct
around the world, and the opengroup site explains only the theory, I read it
but I'm sure, I would not be able to set TZ to the correct value, only after
reading this explanation.
