I gave Bourne shell (or Korn shell) syntax, which allows you to set the
environment variables for each execution before the command.
If you are using the C shell, this would be:
(setenv TZ EST5EDT;xclock -geometry =100x100+300+0 -n ET) &
(setenv TZ CST6CDT;xclock -geometry =100x100+200+0 -n CT) &
(setenv TZ MST7MDT;xclock -geometry =100x100+100+0 -n MT) &
(setenv TZ PST8PDT;xclock -geometry =100x100+0+0 -n PT) &
