I recently upgraded my PC6300 with a vanilla DOS 3.3 and am now looking for a program which will load the date and time from the clock/ calendar backup found thereon. Please e-mail anything helpful; programs, instructions, references, addresses, &c. Thanks in advance. Keith Rogers UUCP: utah-cs!esunix!krogers

I just sent my source to this fellow. I wrote a Logitech Modula-2 program to do the very thing. In case anyone else wants to take a stab at it, either beg me to post the source, or take the following in hand: AT&T PC6300 BIOS INT 1A ENTRY (AH) = FE (-2) EXIT (BX) = days since 1984-Jan-01 (1=1984-Jan-01) (CH) = hour (CL) = minute (DH) = second (DL) = hundredth I have the Set time function, too, somewhere, but it's late... My program has an iteration with an ugly expression (ugly even in M2) which figures out how many of the intervening years since 1984 were leap years and does the right thing. I know it works, because I fixed it again last March 32nd, when my user community brought this to my attention. :-) -Jim Hickstein jxh@cup.portal.com ...!sun!portal!cup.portal.com!jxh "I'll burn that bridge when I get to it!"
