Actually, it should say something like:

	Based on your current system time and the timezone
	you just selected, the time is now:

		Tue Jun  4 16:27:40 EDT 2002

	[OK]	[Try another timezone]	[Change system time]

Originally, tzsetup would try to display the date, and ask if it
looked correct, but it frequently got it wrong (particularly when the
`wall CMOS' option was selected) and even more frequently confused
users who had misadjusted clocks.

If anyone wants to fix this, I have no proprietary feelings whatsoever
towards `tzsetup'.
