It properly keeps hour:minutes, month and day - just changes the "year" always to "2094". I came up with workaround - since the year part changes just once a year, then I can make AUTOEXEC.BAT update just year alone.

Its clock works OK - I'm going to follow Eric's suggestion as I end my work -- regards, Zbigniew _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
