You can use the Execute() to call up Amiga DOS command  - Date in your C:
directory.  Here is the bit and pieces of code from my own Real Time Clock...

static char *DOS_CMD  = "Date HH:MM:SS DD-MMM-YY";
/* your code can substitute the actual time & date into HH:MM:SS */
Execute(DOS_CMD,NULL,NULL);    /* Execute the Date command to set time */

Hope this help.  If you or anyone else that need more info (for a 4 chips real
time clock - source code & schematic), please send me EMail.
