I'm guessing that the string comes from the system library, so you
cannot change it. (The C standard says that %Z produces the time-zone
name or its abbreviation, so the M$ runtime seems to comply here.)
You could, of course, make an alist that maps one into the other.
Why do you need "PST", anyway? Isn't the numerical offset value
(produced by %z) better?
