We have several different versions of UNIX running here but all have a common flaw: there is no way we know to teach them that Congress changed the dates of the switch from standard time to daylight savings time and back. Our local guru's do not know where to patch - we do not have sources to all UNIX variants - System III/V (Altos 68000, Pyramid OSx, Nixdorf TOS). Who could tell us what can be done to inject the correct dates into the body of the kernel (or whereever)? Thanks for your help.

I know that our Pyramid (OSx 4.4) switches time correctly. I would suspect that Nixdorf's would also, provided they had the latest version of OSx (or whatever Nixdorf calls it -- TOS I would guess from your posting) running on them (since they're just repackaged Pyramids -- at least some of them are -- I'm not familiar with Nixdorf's whole product line). >Olaf Kaestner ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Steve DeJarnett | Smart Mailers -> steve@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU | | Computer Systems Lab | Dumb Mailers -> ..!ucbvax!voder!polyslo!steve | | Cal Poly State Univ. |------------------------------------------------| | San Luis Obispo, CA 93407 | BITNET = Because Idiots Type NETwork | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
