Just one more comment that I can't resist making: the proper procedure
is to load the TOD clock with GMT *always*.  Loal time is kept (in VM)
by adding an offset to GMT and labeling it with the chosen three-letter
tag, but NJE and NETDATA time stamps are supposed to be in GMT, and so
is the &TIME variable in EXEC 2.  Many sites seem to take a shortcut
here.

Actually, the U.S. adopted the metric system ages ago.  That's why we
now use paper that's 21.6 cm by 27.9 cm and why we get butter in handy
453.6 g packages.
