OK, sorry for not making myself clearer in the first place. Here's the
output from date ; hwclock --show ...

  consigliori:~# date ; hwclock --show
  Fri Aug 28 10:16:29 IST 1998
  Fri Aug 28 09:16:29 1998  -1.006290 seconds

hwclock shows the correct time here in Ireland. I would like for date to
display this time also, using GMT instead of IST. How do I do this?

thanks,
