W. vanRiper 17 June 1985 *** extime *** This is a short routine that allows you to set the date and time without adding punctuation characters. I constantly crash my system with crazed assembly routines and hate to go through the business of setting the time with the Osborne-supplied utility. This file is only 1k. I use it with George Peace's wonderful EXCLOCK. usage: extime displays: enter month: 06 <- you enter 2 digits day: 17 <- two more hour: 03 <- two more minute: 55 <- two more To reassemble you'll need Richard Conn's SYSLIB, either 2.X or 3.X. It is currently set up for 1985, and to change this you'll need to change the number of days since 1/1/78, which is the way DRI always calculates time. To patch the .COM file: locations 01EA,01EB currently contain FD,09 which is the offset to 1985 to get the offset to 1986: add 365 (016D) to this, giving 0B6A and change FD,09 to 6A,0B for 1986 to get the offset to 1987: add another 365 for 1987, etc. By the way, there is a default date in CPM3.SYS which is 01/01/82 for my system. You can change this with DU or a similar utility so that the new date is in the SCB when the system boots. There is no use for this unless you change it every day....
