If you check the release notes, you'll notice this function was added in
9.34

>From the release notes...

* CT assumes your computer is set to UTC. If you wish to leave it on
local time, set the TZ environment variable. For example:

SET TZ=EST5          // eastern standard time 5 hours behind
SET TZ=PDT7          // pacific daylight time 7 hours behind
SET TZ=CEU-2         // european central time 2 hours ahead
SET TZ NST3:30       // newfoundland std time 3 hours 30 minutes behind

The first three letters of the TZ spec don't mean anything, but the time
offset does. For example,

SET TZ=XYZ-6:27      // tells CT to assume you are 6 hours, 27 minutes
                     // ahead of UTC

CT will automatically compute UTC based on the TZ variable. CT won't
compensate for daylight savings, avoiding the sudden change in time
during CQWW SSB.
