After some testing, apparently there is a bug with screenpeace.
If you were to leave your computer on over the weekend without touching
it until monday (i.e., leave it friday afternoon, and come in monday)
, the date would be wrong. It would say Saturday. 

In other words, the date changes correctly Friday night, but it seems
that Screenpeace disconnects the 'hooks' that control the date until
you touch the computer again. Since you need that 36 hours of not
touching the computer, you can see this happen on weekends.
(Note, the time is correct). 

This has happened (consistently) to some 386 machines. We haven't
tried it on 286's. We ran 3 machines with Win and Screenpeace, 4 with
Windows only, and 3 with Dos only. All 3 running Screenpeace
came back messed up.

Are there any patches for this?
