Easy, just boot off a D0S 3.3 (or later) disk and then use the DATE and TIME commands. Starting with 3.3 (or maybe 3.2) they set the CMOS clock on AT class machines. Before that they only set the *software clock, not the hardware one. Note that on a PC class machine, you'll need the set program that came with the clock card. -- Leonard Erickson leonard@qiclab.scn.rain.com CIS: [70465,203] 70465.203@compuserve.com FIDO: 1:105/56 Leonard.Erickson@f56.n105.z1.fidonet.org (The CIS address is checked daily.
