Can anyone tell me why the system (v 6.02) software would not be incrementing the day and time on a Mac Plus? The machine is not mine, but it is only a year old (and I imagine has always had this problem). The date and time stays on whatever you set it to be on the control panel, so all of the files have the same date and time of creation, etc. What am I overlooking? Also, will the fact that the "system's" time has not been incrementing affect the accuracy of any timing routines that have used VIA chip on this machine? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- maria i. lasaga department of psychology gilmer hall university of virginia charlottesville, virginia 22903 mil@virginia --------------------------------------------------------------------------
