When Tandy released 3.2, they had compiled the new Daylight Savings Time
change period into the "basic system" code.  This is why your system clock
changed appropriately.  However, other programs like MBASIC and uucp are
not part of the "core release" and have not been modified.  You will have
to ask Tandy about MBASIC as it is a separate package.  When the 3.2 
release of their development system (which usually follows two to three
months after a release of a "core" upgrade), they will have supposedly
fixed the CDT/CST problems with uucp, at, and any other programs that
ordinarily come with the Xenix Development System.

Hope this helps.

Mark.
