Usage of altzone and timezone

Hi Folks,

I did read the UNIX man pages for altzone and timezone, but ain't understanding their actual use.

Can any one out here provide a brief case-study(example) w.r.t their use???

would be very greatful for any help provided

That's called cross-posting. It happens to be against the forum rules. And you should wait longer for a response. Your post in the C forum wasn't there the last time I checked, which was about 20 minutes ago.
