	It's ancient.   Look at /VERSION - it should have the current rev
	level:

Current Patch Level: 436
Date: February 22, 2001

	Oh, I see I've number 436 almost ready to publish ;)

	The 4BSD timezone stuff is already there, at least in userland - see
	/usr/share/zoneinfo and 'tic' and so on.

	Since most PDP-11s do not have a "CMOS clock" to get the date and time
	from I'm not sure where the kernel would get its initial date/time
	from.   Some models (11/93) have a TOY clock that could be set to
	GMT, but the other models do not - so the user/admin would have to
	remember to set the date/time to GMT when booting the system.
