Subject: TZ FIX

	A few months ago, someone posted a fix for the problem associated
	with /etc/TIMEZONE not working correctly. I seem to remember that
	it was something like, you can't have tabs or '#' chars as the first
	character in the lines or the line TZ=CDT6CST has to be in the first
	X number of lines. If anyone has this posting or knows what I'm talking
	about, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

I am thinking about replacing a 310 with a 500, and I was wondering
how a 3B2/500 compares to a 310.  

How much of a performance improvement is a 500 over a 310?
What kind of performance increase can be achieved with adding a:

	VCACHE
	22Mhz system board
	multiple processors

The 310 that I am using is currently 13 simultanious users running large
applications (>350K executables)  The main problem with the machine is that
it needs more memory...
