I've tried to change my settings again by following your helpful suggestions
and the `GNUstep-HOWTO' file.

1. Use the defaults utility to set "Local Time Zone" to the local time zone.
    a. defaults write NSGlobalDomain "Local Time Zone" Japan
    b. defaults write NSGlobalDomain "Local Time Zone" GMT+9
    c. defaults write NSGlobalDomain "Local Time Zone" "Asia/Tokyo"

2. Set the GNUSTEP_TZ environment variable in `~/.cshrc'.
    a. setenv GNUSTEP_TZ Japan
    b. setenv GNUSTEP_TZ GMT+9
    c. setenv GNUSTEP_TZ "Asia/Tokyo"

3. Create the file
   `/usr/local/GNUstep/System/Libraries/Resources/NSTimeZones/localtime'
   with the name of the local time zone in it.
    a. Japan
    b. GMT+9
    c. Asia/Tokyo


In all cases:

1. My sample Clock.app showed the current time in JST(+0900).
2. The Attributes Panel of GWorkspace.app showed the last modified time
   of a selected file in GMT(+0000).


Then I've checked to unset "Local Time Zone" etc...
When I login my shell, I'm lectured with the following messages:

Jan 14 21:44:46 gpbs[305] No local time specified.
Jan 14 21:44:46 gpbs[305] Using time zone with absolute offset 0.
(In this time, the local time of my machine is `Tue Jan 15 06:44:46 JST 2002')


In this case:

1. My sample Clock.app showed the current time in GMT(+0000).
2. The Attributes Panel of GWorkspace.app showed the last modified time
   of a selected file in GMT(+0000).


What's wrong with my setting?


Thanks for any help,
