I used to use TIMESTER in /AUTO to set the time and occasionaly had it bomb on
exit causing a reboot. After a while I tried writting my own time/date setting
program which worked a lot like timester and ran into the same problem. I
never figured out if it was setting the date/time, changing the timestamp on
the .PRG file, or some other thing that caused the bombs.

Of course it could be a combination of setting time/date and using IDLE12.PRG
(I use it my my /AUTO also!).
