   Exactly what SET TIME does depends on the syntax you use.  See
   sys$system:shutdown.com for an example of forcing the TOY clock
   to be updated.

   IIRC, if you provide a time argument, the TOY clock and system image
   are updated, and if you don't then the TOY clock is read and combined
   with the year last recorded in the system image (I don't know about
   later systems, but VAX-11 had 18 month TOY clocks.
