[Info-vax] DTSS to NTP

I'm working with a site that has software that doesn't tolerate time
changes well.  Before this summer, they'd run with parameter
AUTO_DLIGHT_SAV = 0, and when DST started or ended, they'd change the time
manually when convenient for them and restart the software.  Some time
over the summer they started using NTP to synch with an external source.
I see that NTP itself shouldn't mess them up, but I foresee them changing
the time and then having NTP try to set the time back.  They'll have to
stop NTP, change the time, change the time zone for NTP and restart it,
from what I see.  Did I miss anything?
