I have practically combed the INTER590.ZIP files for the location were MSDOS stores the system date. I can find where it stores the number of ticks since midnight and where the "day roll-over" flag resides. I have heard that somewhere there is a long word which stores the number of seconds in a Unix-like convention. INTER90 doesn't seem to know about this long word. Does anyone else? In general, how and where does MSDOS store the current date???? I need to fix the stupid roll-over flag as it forces my machine to loose 24 hours each day it sets unused. (Another IBM original) Thanks. Shane(); -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the keyboard of: email: sdawalt@cs.wright.edu Shane A.
