[looking for source code to set clock on a z39]

It's much easier to just use the formatted string output of the "date"
program.  Write a 1 line program in your favorite language that outputs
an escape character followed by the argument, and then do a "date".
Could it be that the executable that you were referring to is actually
a shell script that does just this?

In my .login for a z29 ansi terminal, I have

		case "z29-ansi":
			esc "["
			date "+%H;%M;%S{"
		breaksw

The z39 is probably similar.
