I found some info about TZ from my C++ runtime library online help.
It is used by some C runtime libraries to calculate the appropriate
timezone time offset for things like email programs etc. The impact
of setting this variable varies between operating systems and whether
or not particular programs are compiled to look for it. (Hopefully
that is enough to explain why windows may report one thing and other
programs something different.)

I believe the correct setting in your situation may be
TZ=eet-0930
but I am not entirely sure.


What I would be trying is to delete the setting altogether - at least
to see whether it is making any difference to IB. Make sure you are
adjusting the machine environment and not the user environment - and
make sure the changes "stick". That is; check that the value is still
cleared or reset after the reboot, to be sure there is not thing in
the startup processing that is changing it back.


If you still cannot get it to work, you may find better answers on the
IB_Support list, since I would put this down to an IB problem and not
an IBO problem.
