Hi,

I just noticed that the battery-backed-up clock didn't roll over
from 1987 to 1988 on my PC6300.  I am running AT&T MS-DOS 3.2 with
the biopatch that cures zeroing of the seconds upon reboot.  I
called a friend who agreed the same thing happens with non-patched
DOS 3.2.

Actually, I don't think it is a bug with DOS, but rather a glitch
in the clock chip.

At any rate, don't forget to check your DOS DATE function to make
sure that you are living in the right year!

Peace and Happiness in the New Year,
--Bill
