$Does it really take DOS minutes to check the time and update the date?
$Is this "normal" behavior for DOS?

   Most versions of DOS don't change the date at midnight.  I know MS-DOS
3.20 doesn't; I don't know about any more recent versions.  So the answer
is yes, this is normal behaviour for DOS - brain-damaged (surprise :-) but
normal.
