Interesting. I haven't looked at the time of day code in forever - but I
am pretty sure I am
doing a DOS function call to get the time and date. It's nice that DOSBox
supports the
calls - but seems to be returning slightly messed up data.
I can't think of anything you can do on the TR side of the equation to
change this behavior.
If you quit TR and type "time" at the DOS prompt - does it look different?
