I was thinking that because it only stored 2 digits for the date that it
wasn't, but I suppose it's more of a case of any software that doesn't
handle it properly is not compliant. Anyone thought of correcting and
rebuilding MasterDOS for next year?

Thanks Si!  I thought I was missing a document somewhere as other people
seemed to know about the extra info.

I finally figured out your code writes values from 15 to 1 into the year
tens value and then read them back to make sure they were all set before you
take the clock as installed. I was supplying the current date/time but
ignoring any writes which failed your check. I've just implemented writes to
update the ticking clock it's happy :-) (it doesn't update the PC clock
btw!).

Si
