Some new info brought to my attention about dead clocks:

  1. The V1.3 SETCLOCK command has a problem. Therefore, SETCLOCK RESET 
     will not work properly. BTW, SETCLOCK RESET is supposed to completely 
     reset clocks who have been turned off or whose test bits have been 
     set by a wild program.

  2. V1.2 SETCLOCK doesn't have the RESET option, so you'll need V1.3.2 
     which I don't have.

  3. I did have a program go out of control before my clock died.

  4. Maybe the clock battery is low on charge and needs to be recharged.

  5. Maybe it really is dead.


-Steve
