Hi and Happy New Year.... My STE definitively refuses to set its Date to any day after the 31 december 1999. I have tryied with either GEMDOS call TSetdate() or BIOS ( or XBIOS? ) call settime() with the proper bit structure. There is no problem for any date below year 2000, but it seems impossible for any other date. Has anybody experienced this problem ? Alexis. PS: My TOS release number is 1.62, I have bought my STE 2 months ago.

I just tried setting the date to 1/4/2001 on my TT and it works fine. The code hasn't changed between 1.62 and this version, so I don't know what to tell you. Try Tsetdate(0x2a24) -- the return code should be zero, meaning it succeeded. If you then try to print the date with a program which is not prepared to handle the turn of the century, that can cause trouble, but it's not TOS's fault. ============================================ Opinions expressed above do not necessarily -- Allan Pratt, Atari Corp. reflect those of Atari Corp. or anyone else. ...ames!atari!apratt
