Being "east" of GMT doesn't mean you should use a negative number, I believe.
Try "+23" and "+21" for your respective problems.
Note that the time is dependant on a relative offsef from your DOS clock
setting; thus if your DOS clock is correct, the CMOS value is by
definition preadjusted; in this case, you should use "0 dst", since a 0
adjust will leave the clock the same relative to the CMOS clock.
Also : does daylight savings time actually apply in your necks of the woods?
