- I've had allsorts of answers to my question about setting the clock...
- come we're very strange but anyway I thought I'd tell you why I need
- it so you can understand a bit better.
-
- My A1200 doesn't have a clock (none available when I got my memory
- card apparently!) so everytime I use e-mail the dates bugger up....
- so everyone shouts "use the on-line atomic clock option thing!".
- which I do.... but.... I prefer to write my e-mails off-line so if I
- turn on the computer and want to write an e-mail I have to set the
- clock first.
- I was going to write 2 programs. One would save the current time to
- disk which would be done everytime the internet clock is accessed
- (i.e. when I start AmiTCP)
- The second would be run on boot up and would load the saved time and
- change the clock to it's settings. This way, on boot-up, my clock
- would be wrong but only by a few hours or a day at most which wouldn't
- matter too much for e-mails.
-
- OK?
-
- Anyway I've proberly got it sussed now... thanks for the help.
- Oh and I did try several AMINET programs first but they weren't too
- good.
