[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #36954] datenum / datevec convert date-time string incorrectly during hour lost to DST

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #27, bug #36954 (project octave):

Philip - can you please run the attached script tztest.m on Windows with an
unpatched Octave? Either dev or 4.2 should be fine. I want to see what output
you get, I want to know if setting the TZ environment variable does anything
on Windows, and if it accepts the same time zone specification formats as
POSIX.

Here's what you should see


>> tztest

This is basically the test that I am going to add for this fix, but I want to
know if it will work on Windows or if I should flag it to run on Unixy systems
only, which would be a shame.
