Unixclock  allows you to set your hardware clock to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time)
and  have  the  correct time under UNIX-alikes (e.g. Linux/68k, NetBSD-Amiga,
etc...) and AmigaOS.

It   reads   the   local   time  zone  from  the  Locale  prefs  and  patches
battclock.resource,  so all hardware clock reads and writes will be converted
from GMT to local time and vice versa.

Drop the program into the WBStartup drawer or put the following line in your
`S:User-Startup' (i.e. after IPrefs):

	Run <>NIL: unixclock

You can remove unixclock by sending it a CTRL-C.

This version doesn't care about DST (Daylight Savings Time) yet.

History:

1.1: - patch (de)installation now protected with Forbid()/Permit()
     - pachtes rewritten in C (requires at least gcc 2.7.2)
     - additional code cleanup

1.0: - initial release
