Hi all,
 
Testing shows that a "SETCLOCK ...; NOW" resets the system startup
time to now :(
This affects the output of my UPTIME utility.
 
So, if you want to always have a reliable UPTIME, either
use SETCLOCK...GRADUAL, or if you have BETIMES:
 
   :betimes
   reset setclock       (only needed on MPE/iX 5.0 and later)
   ...time/date change... (e.g.: ADD 1 HOUR)
 
I'm not sure why the system startup time changes when you do a
SETCLOCK...;NOW. ... so I'm not sure if it is a bug or a feature :)
