[att.sys.pc6300] AT&T 6300 Clock

alt@ihlpf.UUCP (06/05/87)

When running AT&T DOS, my 6300 appears to lose time, typically 3-8 minutes per
day.  I had this problem before and solved it using PCDOS and a program to 
set and read the AT&T real time clock.  I am now trying to use AT&T DOS again
for other reasons and I am still having this problem.  I think some program that
I run is trying to read the DOS clock, but with AT&T DOS the DOS clock and real
time clock are one in the same (I think!) and the program is corrupting the 
real time clock.  Previously, the Norton timemark.com or tm.com cleared the 
seconds digits of the clock causing as much as a 59 second loss with each
running of the program.  This is not the current problem - something else is
doing it now.  I would like to fix the problem rather that the symptom.  Anyone
have any ideas???
