Resetting the AT's Clock and Date
While reading DOS 3.0 I noticed that by using the TIME and DATE
commands it had no effect on the C-MOS real-time clock. The last
paragraph for the TIME and DATE commands states that "If you are
using a IBM Personal Computer AT, typing a new time (or date)
does not change the system clock".
The way IBM suggests you change the time and date is to run
the SETUP program on the diagnostic diskette in the Guide to
Operations and then reboot the system.
To avoid having to run the diagnostic diskette everytime you
want to change the time or date, and then rebooting, I have
written a assembly language program to allow you to easily change
the time and date.
The programs consists of a batch file and a .COM file. To
use it just type:
setclock hh:mm:ss mm-dd-yy
where: hh:mm:ss are the hours, minutes, and seconds.
mm-dd-yy is the month, day, and year. The date is optional.
If you want a copy of this program call me.
