But I'm not talking about touching the battery backed-up clock, which is sometimes refered to as the RTC in this discussion. I was thinking of leaving this in UTC all the time, and then use additional software (your Clocky could do it easily) to correct the *real* RTC, i.e. the clock that TOS and MagiC refer to. Since MiNT does something similar you'll never have to touch the battery-clock, and the problems you had with Linux/98/NT would never occur.
