Additionally, since Powerhouse is written in C, it almost certainly uses
the ctime() and/or the mktime() library functions, and these functions rely
upon a correct value in your TZ variable.  As Doug points out, check what
your TIMEZONE setting is (use the SHOWCLOCK command), but also make sure
you have the correct TZ variable set. (Take a look at TZTAB.LIB.SYS for
appropriate values. Also, see  Appendix A of the "HP C/iX Library Reference
Manual" (HP Part No 30026-90001))
