Reminder for folks still using old IRIS 3000 series machines in the
Continental U.S.:
You will find your machine still displaying Standard Time on Monday,
unless you take care of it manually this weekend or first thing Monday.
DON'T use "date" to reset your clock; the machine will be keeping the
right time, just printing it out wrong.
Instead, change the contents of /etc/TZ to read
EDT4
CDT5
MDT6
or
PDT7
After the end of April, change it back to
EST5EDT
CST6CDT
MST7MDT
or
PST8PDT
