Hi folks,

Its come that time again, when we are about to go onto Daylight Savings
Time, and once again, it looks like a forced temporary(?) retirement of
the 3K in order to set the clocks.  Now as if that wasn't bad enough, we
have to set two (count'em TWO) clocks:  what I guess we can refer to as
the compatibility mode clock and the native mode clock.  What I can't
fathom is why there aren't HP utilities (or at least CSL routines)
available to set and synchronize these two, without the need for reboot.

Without treading on any toes here (like SRN and/or Mr Sieler), what
exactly is so mysterious about these clocks that interface to these are
kept such a secret?  MPE/V had CLKPROG, DOS lets you adjust your time,
Eunichs even permit it, but not MPE/ix?

Admittedly, shutting down the system twice a year isn't much to ask (if
only this was so), but it is dang'd annoying.  So what's the true poop
here?  Does anyone there know *WHY* it has been made so difficult to
adjust the system clocks?  Does anyone know *WHY* HP haven't provided some
time of "nugget" already to do same?
