Hmm..  as a followup to my earlier "solution" of changing the
/etc/brc and the /etc/rc files to remove the "-s" option from
the date command so that time is correct..  well, there seems
to be a small side-effect..

NOW..  cron and update aren't running.  (If you put this "fix"
in, try a ps -alx to see if your cron and update are running).
I pulled up the old news I've saved away about Coherent and
found someone else with the problem where cron & update aren't
running, but their fix (to use "/etc/cron >/dev/console&" and
"/etc/update >/dev/console&") didn't fix mine.  Sigh.

So..  I put the "-s" back & used SETUP on the Supersport to set
the clock back an hour, so it really is off by an hour in DOS &
fine in Coherent, and I have cron & update running.

When I have more time to spend on this adventure, I'm gonna try
to figure out how to make  /etc/brc and /etc/rc do what I want.
