A week or so ago, I appended a note to DOS2 BUGS about the fact that the
date in PCDOS 2.00 doesn't automatically increment at midnight. As a
bypass for this problem (until it's fixed), I dis-assembled the builtin
CLOCK$ device driver, fixed the "bug," assembled it, and re-installed it
as a replacement CLOCK$ device driver. The Yorktown IBMPC file is called
CLOCKFIX SYSTBH. To use it, you must first retrieve it using B3101 or
B3277 and name it CLOCKFIX.SYS. Then you must add the filename to your
CONFIG.SYS (or create a new CONFIG.SYS) in a line: DEVICE=CLOCKFIX.SYS
This is pretty well described in the DOS 2.00 manual section on
"Installable Device Drivers." Except for the filename, the instructions
are the same as those for installing ANSI.SYS.
I have been using this driver for several days and have noticed no
problems. Yes, the system-date now changes at midnight.
