the reason I need TZ is that I still use the (quite old) RCS software.
Up to now I did not encounter any problems with TZ. With regard to
"CDT", I may have improvised a bit with the daylight savings name for
my timezone.

there is no abbreviation, just the following:
(UTC+01:00) Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna

Hello,
I hope I answered your specific questions above. There is one item
that comes to mind, though, which I don't know whether it is evident
in the data in my original error report, namely, that my system is
64-bit Windows 7. I also have a 32-bit Windows 7 installation, but
currently I am unable to access it. As soon as I will be able to do
so, I will check how emacs behaves there.
Regards,
Bostjan
