i just checked out an ST version of unix date(1) i wrote. it correctly
sets the date on a mega4 (tos 1.2). however, i needed to do 2 things:

	1) call GEMDOS Tsettime/Tsetdate to tell GEMDOS of the change
	2) call XBIOS Settime/Setdate to tell the ikbd of the change
	   (Tset* does NOT do this).

you need to do both as far as i can tell. at any rate, it does not seem
to hurt. maybe apratt can elucidate...

try that. if u insist, i can mail u the src for this program...
