Further to this, and my recent problems with a remote system (date came up as Oct 2013), I thought I had it fixed, but now see this issue - Sept 15 calls to time() produce a date of Sep 14, but correct time of day for zone- China, GMT+8. Looking deeper in dbx, I see in the tm structure tm_isdst is TRUE, where in our local system in Oz (GMT+10) it is False.
I know the TZ looks wrong, but in every other respect it works. It seems to me that DST set should not give an error of 1 whole day? Also , why is the month in the tm struct off by 1 - it returns 8?
Anybody ?

Have you used the SETCLOCK utility (available from the ISL prompt)
or (availabilty depends upon hardware model:) the below-the-ISL command to
set the hardware clock?
Using one of the above two, set the hardware clock to GMT.
Then, boot MPE (being sure to watch for the date/time prompt to set it
to correct local time).
