One of the few things I don't like about OS/2 is that the clock is local
rather than GMT. My life would be so-o-o much easier if it were GMT and
a system time zone value was used to give "local time". I'm working in
multiple time zones.

SCOUG's INetMail, although I don't recall if the failure is in INetMail
or Steward or something in our customized scripts.

Thanks, I can pontificate for hours about NTP and clocks. I use
daytime.exe and os2ntpd.exe myself.
