Does anyone know about the Midnight Bug in DOS, where the clock does not
register a date change when passing midnight?  We have a user here who
leaves her machine on continuously, and every now and then it will lose
a day.  We're pretty sure this is the midnight bug in action.  We've heard
of fixes for this, but don't know where to get one.  Any suggestions?
Thanks.
