Still. using packages or ports in much simpler than a roll-your-own port. === changeTopic === I've run into a problem in getting the clock (xclock and others) to display local time (PST, where I am.) `date' displys the right time and `date -u' gives me UTC. But xclock displays only UTC. This is obviously no major deal, but if anybody has stumbled across this, I'd appreciate some tips! (I've read several man pages, but no luck.
