RE:  Clock program for Novas

Your timely complaint is seconded.  Can anyone shed information on the status
of these INTEREX system improvement ballot items:

93M01 - Option to have system clock set to real time after powerfail.

93M02 - Ability to change system date & time while system is up.

Option to have system clock set to real time after powerfail is
important because we have an application that uses SecurID cards to
authenticate certain user activities and in order for these cards to operate
the system clock must be set properly.

It is totally absurd that we have to shutdown the system in order to change
the system clock.  In our current environment, the system is not available
to SecurID card applications until we can reboot, AND THEN not available
to anyone for the time it takes to shutdown the system and reboot.
