    Auto time change came about in 7.3 or perhaps 7.3-1. There is a non-dynamic
    sysgen param to enable it, and some logicals to set. But when I let it do
    its thing a year ago, there was a problem and it failed to change the time,
    so I had to do it the old fashioned way using
    sys$examples:daylight_savings.com. Supposedly this has been fixed, either
    via a patch, or in 7.3-2.. With my new job, I'm back at 7.1 for production
    and using the command procedure to run batch jobs at 2am tomorrow. But my
    test system is at 7.3-2 and hopefully it will work right there. I'll let you
    know around this time tomorrow :-)
