| Warnings |
(R83) note that this is now a proc that executes the verb called set.time.
On D3/Unix systems, this does not change the Unix time. It only creates a difference. The new time is preserved (even if the system is rebooted) until another "set-time" command is issued. If the Unix date is changed, the Pick date is changed, too. The Pick Implementation does not use the daylight savings Unix algorithm. Therefore, the time has to be adjusted manually when daylight savings goes into effect. |
