In the fall $ SET TIME="-01:00:00" ! In the spring These work well and are much faster/easier to understand (they also work interactively.) One point I'd like to get straighten out. I've done this a few time, and have had no problems, but I'm not sure if it is cool. I have heard horror stories about people getting charged for one hour of cpu time when the system manager change the time on them. Has this ever happened to anyone under VMS? If so, then is there a better way of doing daylight savings stuff. I know this can mess up connect times, if your accounting software isn't smart enough, but we don't charge for connect time.
