The Unix internal clock keeps time in terms of GMT and displays the local
time based on the TZ environment variable. Look in /usr/lib/tztab to
get the list of predefined TZ values. You can of course create your own.
This is true for HP-UX which is SYSV based.

For Eastern Standard time use

env TZ=EST5EDT xclock

For pacific time use

env TZ=PST8PDT xclock

This compensates for daylight savings as well.
