I appreciate John's information about the clocks, but I remain a bit
confused about what is happening.  The Paul Close program that his wife
posted gives me separate readings for three clocks when I boot with the
Supra clock-reading program: the TOS clock, set with a gemdos call, is
correct, supposedly set by the Supra program.  The BIOS clock reads 1
Jan. 2048, which is what Word Perfect comes up with.  The supposed
keyboard clock reads 1 Jan. 1900!  When I run a program to set all of
the clocks which reads the TOS clock with a gemdos call and sets the
BIOS clock with xbios(22/23) (I forget which it is at the moment), all
three clocks report the same time.  So what is Kgettime() reporting?  Or
is this related to the bug that John reports?
