And if you're on UN*X, you can do pretty much the same thing, e.g.

	TZ=America/New_York wireshark

if you have a Bourne-compatible shell and an OS with a version of the Olson time zone database with the new-style zone names ("America/New_York" basically means "US Eastern time zone", for example) or, if you're stuck with a C-shell-compatible shell

	setenv TZ America/New_York
	wireshark

The BSDs, most if not all Linux distributions, and OS X all have that type of Olson time zone database.
