I have a AT&T PC6300 running (AT&T) DOS 3.3. I have heard various and sundry horror stories about malfunctions with the time of day clock but must admit that I haven't experienced any of these - at least not until now!! Up to now, all my programs have worked fine, excecuting the "time" command works etc. The problem is an accounting program called DacEasy. When invoked, it comes up with the correct date but wrong time. Their customer service wasn't any help since all they said was that it works on their machine and, to be fair to them, the time display does work on a '386 clone that I tried. Would someone hazard a guess as to why this doesn't work and whether there is anything that I can do about it. It is unlikely that DacEasy will modify their program to accomodate the PC6300 so a general purpose solution would be preferred. Thanks in advance, -Graham Brand (brand@janus.berkeley.edu)

There is also an explanation of why the clock is off. I don't remember all the details (I'm at home with my clone), but if the documentation seems to allow it, I'll try and post it later today when I'm at my Mom's. I'll PAK it using 2.10, cuz I don't like PK* and SEAARC just isn't as good. PAK210.EXE is available by anonymous ftp at various sites, including (I'm pretty sure) the simtel20 site (26.2.0.74). My Mom's AT&T 6300 is for sale, but since this isn't the group for it, I'll post details to misc.forsale.computers later on. -- Macintosh related: mac-admin@cs.umn.edu All else: aslakson@cs.umn.edu
