You are most probably using an older version of OS/2 (like OS/2 Warp 3.0)
and don't have TZ variable in your environment. The easiest solution is to add
"SET TZ=..." (e.g. "SET TZ=CET-1CEST,3,-1,0,7200,10,-1,0,10800,3600" for most
of western and central Europe) line to your CONFIG.SYS, and restart OS/2.

29. Why are the generated binaries so big?
There are several reasons and remedies for this:
1. If you are using 0.99.12: Due to some problems with the
binary writer, 0.99.12 wasn't released with smartlinkable
RTLs. Smartlinking causes only actually used procedures,
functions and constants to be linked in.
You can remedy this by using a development version and
creating a smartlinking RTL. See the [44]make cycle faq or
creating a smartlinking RTL. See the [45]make cycle faq or

4. You can use LXLITE for packing EMX binaries, but you won't be
able to run them under DOS (with extender) any more then. It
might even not be possible to use them on lower OS/2 versions
(like 2.x) depending on chosen type of compression. LXLITE
