Subject: DST - how to adjust the time?

Ever since the time change (I know it's a little late - I've been trying to
fix it on my own), my clock an hour off.  I keep the hardware clock at the
current local time (for dos and Win95), and I used the TIMEZONE config
option to adjust the clock in NetBSD (which BTW wasn't documented correctly
- it's the number of minutes to change by - not hours).  How can I convince
NetBSD to adjust the clock further during daylight savings time?  I could
allways switch the TIMEZONE parameter and recompile the kernel every time
the time changes - but that's a real hassle.

This has been bugging me for a while - and I remember hearing that TIMEZONE
and DST are obsolete.  I couldn't see what DST did when I changed it anyway.
I also noticed that the -d and -t parameters to date don't seem to do
anything...

Anyway, please let me know if you've got an idea, this has gone on long
enough <grin>....

Thanks,
        Rick
