I wanted to make sure that the changeover was clean, so I scheduled
a system shutdown for Sunday morning.  Just before shutting down, I
set the Sysgen SETTIME parameter to 1 (in the CURRENT parameters, of
course).  This parameter causes the time to be prompted for during
system startup.  After the system is up, you have to reset the SETTIME
parameter to zero again, but other than that, it is a relatively painless,
clean way to reset the system time.  That is, if you can afford a system
shutdown.
