Function: RealTime()
RealTime() returns the System Time (in a string)
as it is known by the CMOS internal battery. It
should generally be the same as the DOS time, but
in some situations this is a more accurate way of
checking, as this one is updated continuously
(also when the computer is turned off). Note that
when running under DOS 3.30 or higher, the Real-
Time time is also set, along with DOS' time, when
using the SetTime() function.
WARNING: Use this function only on ATs and higher
machines, this service is not supported in the PCs
and XTs of the early years (unpredictable
results).
Syntax: RealTime().
Arguments: None.
Returns: The real-time time in a string in the "HH:MM:SS"
form, just the same format Time() and SetTime()
use.
Usage: * - See RealDate()..
