To make this run on the Convergent 'S/Series' CTIX, change localtime() to
gmtime(), and WRTRC to WRTC.

I also point my SIGALARM at disc_nbs, but that is trivial.
The check_tz routine needs to be different, although if $TZ is set, it
doesn't matter.

I also have a routine to write the RTC on the Convergent SPC / 
Unisys U6000 (low end), which I might post soon as part of my 
net-synchronization routine for non-ntp sites.
