After changing my CMOS time, I decided to look at the zoneinfo stuff. 
Since my wife still used DOS, I didn't really want to leave it with the
clock incorrect.
 (She hasn't seen much of the machine since 386BSD got released :-)

I ended up copying the northamerica datafile and making a new RULE
called NATE that didn't have the Daylight savings time in it.  

My machine NOW has the correct time and offset.  I guess my BIOS is too
smart for 386BSD.  The only problem with this is I'm not sure how the
BIOS handles the time-change.  I may have to reboot, but that's a few months
away.
