Great the TZ trick! i had the same sigdev pb with that TZ coding.
It seems there are at least 2 flavors of TZ and some applications understand
both (i.e. time868 implementing time protocol rfc868).
Here is the batch cmd i used with success right now:
/* emx09b !!!
EMX : revision = 40
EMXIO : revision = 40
EMXLIBC : revision = 40
EMXLIBCM : revision = 40
EMXLIBCS : revision = 40
EMXWRAP : revision = 40
*/
trace ?o
'setlocal'
'set TZ=' /* SUCCESS */
'set TZ=CET-1DST,M3.5.0/2:00,M10.5.0/3:00' /* FAILING */
'set TZ=GMT-1GMT,03,04,00,10800,09,04,00,10800,3600' /* SUCCESS */
'set EMXOPT=-t -h40'
'set NNTPSERVER=news2.ibm.net'
'vsoup -M -S1 -l 500 -h f:\yarn\jj\vsoup'
'endlocal'

and the -M log:
vsoup: connected to pop3 server pop03.ca.us.ibm.net
vsoup: you have 5 mail messages
vsoup: connected to news server news2.ibm.net (getNews)
.
.
vsoup: 2 articles read

BTW emx09b is ok ;)
