Why is it that on Monday when I come in to work, the date of my IBM PC-AT is Saturday's date? Thanks in advance! :-) -------------------------------------------------------------------- | Susan L.

Thanks in advance! :-) > Well, one way for this to happen is if you are using MS DOS version 3.2 or older and you left the computer on over the weekend. There is a bug in DOS 3.2 where the date is not incremented when the computer is left on past midnight. If you reboot the computer you should get the correct date.

Thanks in advance! :-) > There is a slitch in the older versions of DOS. (Before 3.30.) Dos doesn't update the date at midnight. I remember there was a patch around the local BBS's. It probabally would be easier to upgrade to Dos 3.3.
