A while back I asked for help with DOS3.3; it rolls over the time
at midnight, but not the date.

Nobody had an answer even though I'm *sure* I saw a solution a long
time ago...

Now I've dug up a partial answer. Maybe this will help job somebody's
memory.

When the time rolls over from 23:59:59 to 24:00:00, DOS clear the time
(at locations 40:6C and 40:6E) and sets 40:70 to one. The problem is
that nothing seems to examine 40:70 and change the date when it is
set!

Thus, what is needed is something to change the date whenever 40:70 is
nonzero, and reset 40:70. Anybody have such a beast? I'd rather not
have to reinvent yet another wheel...

Thanks!

Pete
