Hmmm... a standard for non-standard systems. That's deep.

That is actually the System V release 4 version of TZ. I have been referring to the SunOS man page which documents the colon. But I had trouble understanding it. Now I have looked at the man page for your system. It looks like Sun tweaked the TZ concept a little (big surprise there) and didn't update the man page well. Now I finally understand that colon. You can ignore my second suggestion in my previous post. I now modify it to:
TZ=:US/Eastern
However according to your man page that would behave identically to TZ=:/usr/lib/locale/TZ/US/Eastern
which is what you have.

It looks like you have a zdump. Did you try that?
