The application I'm writing is used on a PC that remains on all of the time.
I'm having a problem with the MS-DOS clock getting a day behind over the
weekend.  I've figured out that the clock BIOS keeps is rolling over midnight
and setting the rollover flag in BIOS, but MS-DOS isn't ever getting to the
point where it updates it's internal date.  Thus, on Monday when MS-DOS does
get control and updates the date it's a day behind.  Does anyone know how I
can get DOS to update it's date, i.e. a function call, so I don't have this
off by a day problem.
