time changes?

[rsc]

has anyone found a satisfactory way to make plan 9 coexist
with things like windows95/NT in terms of the calendar?
i am running NT very once in a while, and told it that i
lived in greenwich when i installed, so at least it would
sort of know what time it was (my pc clock is set to gmt for
plan 9).  the problem is that a week ago it changed the time
to anticipate daylight savings and now plan 9 is an hour fast.
had i set it for us-eastern, it would be changing the next
time i boot winNT after tomorrow morning.  does anyone know how
to turn it off/know of any time zones that are daylight-inefficient
and don't ever change the clocks?  i don't really care what time
zone windows thinks it is in as long as it leaves the clock alone.

There is a little check box under the time zone which says "Adjust for
Daylight savings time"  uncheck it and won't do it again.  It will do it
once more if you don't boot NT once before 2 am local time tonight and fix it.

The OTHER approch would be to take the tack that linux takes which is to
have a clock program which sets the machine clock based on the internal
clock (PC arch is such that there are 2 clocks one that keeps real time,
and one that keeps real time while the CPU is a wake, althought I don't
know if Plan 9 looks at the second clock)  At anyrate Lunix will set the
time BLINDLY based on the Realtime clock (for people you only run real
OSes) or your clock - your timezone (for people who run real OSes and dumb
ones.)
