- Short: Weird battclock fix, reboot if stopped clock

- There's a problem with the hardware on an A4000 desktop I have. When started up
- from cold, the real time clock does not tick. If you were to start the Workbench
- clock program, the second hand remains stuck at whatever second it was when the
- machine was switched on. "SetClock Load" does nothing to help, although it does
- set the correct time again.
-
- All it takes to get the machine to work is a single reboot. So, I wrote this.
-
- Look at the C source to see what happens, it's very simple. The provided
- executable was compiled with SAS/C 6.59.
-
- The program works out what time it is, then delays for two seconds and gets the
- time again. If the time has not changed, the machine is rebooted.
-
- I hope someone can find this program useful.
