[comp.sys.att] seconds on DOS time on 6300?

gopstein@soleil.UUCP (Rich Gopstein) (03/22/90)

I am having a problem with some software that sets the DOS
time (using DOS, not BIOS or the H/W) on my 6300 running ATT
DOS 3.2 with 1.43 ROMS.

I tried a small C test case, and sure enough, the DOS set time
function always sets the seconds to zero.  Why?  Is this a
bug in DOS or in the BIOS?  What can I do about it?
I really need my machine to have a very accurate clock (within
a few seconds per week).

Rebooting the system also appears to reset the seconds to zero...
