Why not find Q_start, or a similar program written by the RNP
and Smartkey port author - "Biff Jones"
Both present the date/time, let you change them with the arrow
keys, then SAVE it to a file. The next time, the date/time
presented needs to be bumped up one {day, hour, minute}
depending on how often you crash the box ;-}
"Biff"'s saves it to itself, while Q_start uses a separate
data file. Alas, the latter was quickly written in 
frustration,  and did not count leap years, so the DAY is one
off.
