Is there an easy way to get the clock time from the keyboard?
It would be nice to use a clock with one second resolution instead
of GEMDOS's 2 second clock.

I would also like to be able to set this clock.

I know that there is an XBIOS call to send bytes to the keyboard,
but how do we receive them?  (I have no idea where the keyboard
packets are sent or what format they have or ...  you get the picture. :)

Just in case anyone cares, I'm using Personal Pascal.
