I have NO problems with Xenix at all:

  - it is 14:15 MZT at the moment
  - so says date
  - so says localtime
  - MY TZ is 'MET-1MZT;M3.5,M9.5'

1. Replace the comma after DST by a semicolon (that should do it)
2. No result ? Replace the summer-mnemonic by a 3-character one
3. No result ? Leave out the trailing '.0' (is redundant anyway)
4. No result ? Call your local dealer.

Dick.
