If anyone can answer the following question, I would be
grateful.

When we leave our PCs on overnight, the date does not always
change, although the time is kept current.  I have not
figured out how to duplicate so I don't know exactly why it
happens only sometimes.

It used to happen only on our Zenith 158 running Zenith's
MS-DOS 3.1.   Now it also happens on our IBM PC/XT running
IBM's PC-DOS 3.1.

What is going on?
