"date" reports wrong timezone



I have a recent install of CYGWIN running under Windows XP on a powermac (under Paralllels).
The time on Windows is set correctly, but date returns the wrong date (and the wrong times on files).
It reports times in GMT.


I want to change the timezone to PDT (pacific daylight time). By experimentation, I found
that I can reset the timezone environment variable to EST by setting TZ=EST, but the
similar TZ=PST or TZ=PDT has no effect.


Thanks
