Yes,
Se the environment variable TZ to be correct for the time zone you need.

For example:

   TZ=PST8PDT;  export TZ

Use a shell wrapper, or at the top of a filePro menu script, or in the
user's .profile (or initial login script), or in a special fp "config"
file... or whatever other method you can dream up to set off the programs
which service the California client.
