[net.micro.pc] DOS Date Updating

Mfarber@UDel-Relay@sri-unix.UUCP (10/12/83)

The reason the date remains unchanged is that the date is only updated
whenever the time check routine is called. If the time check routine
isn't called for 24 hours, the date lags behind.

The reason the time has to be "updated" is that it uses a number
changed 18.21 times a second by the internal clock and converts it
into a new time.
