[Info-vax] Does anyone know if the unsupported TBO (time boost utility that "drifts" time forward or backward by adjusting ticklength) was every ported to the Itanium?

Log some feedback with VSI, if that's still the case with the current 
manuals and current VSI software.

The DECdts callable routines have been integrated with and shipped as 
part of OpenVMS for most of two decades.  I had the related API doc 
moved from the DECnet-Plus manuals to the OpenVMS manuals and that then 
first (re)published in the OpenVMS V8.2 docs IIRC, but the routines 
were migrated earlier; with the integration of the timezone and related 
timekeeping support at OpenVMS V7.3.

The separate header files are for reference, and moderately-old C 
stopped extracting the header files from the system definitions. See 
the libext tool on the Freeware, as I got that code open-sourced when 
the compilers stopped offering to extract the header files into the 
reference directories. The compilers do look in the proper spot for 
headers. But if you don't have the utc.h file around in the C header 
text libraries (I don't have anything running as far back as you seem 
to be using), you're left to back-port that or to upgrade OpenVMS to 
something approaching current OpenVMS.
