With regard to Ultrix, I called DEC Tech. Support.  Their answer was:

	- on <the new changeover date> use the 'date' command
		to advance the time 1 hour.  It will say PST (or whatever)
		instead of PDT (or whatever).
	- on <the old changeover date> use the 'date' command
		to set back the time 1 hour.  It will then show
		daylight savings time correctly.

In other words, "ctime fix? we don't got no stinking ctime fix!" :-)

Sorry for the verbose message, but we need filler for inews.
