Does it also count that in hisoft basic, the classic "X,Y" order is actually "Y,X"... that drove me nuts as well :roll:

Probably last update for the week..

Adding in a new option to set the ST's time & date from the RTC clock... "almost" works :lol:

Really I need someone to do a simple version in ASM which can access the RTC registers and set the ST's clock.. like a small AUTO folder program..

EDIT:

Fixed the date bug.. but no matter what I put in as the year, it always reads (from the ST) "20;9"... I tried putting in "2019", "20", "19" but makes no odds.... I'm assuming the internal ST clock just doesn't work with these numbers :shrug:

I tried using the TSETDATE function and it worked in that I could set 1/1/1980, but again setting 2019 resulted in "20;9" :roll: So its not a bug in hisoft in setting the date.. so maybe reading the date is wrong.. will try a system call for that next...

EDIT:

The value I write to the ST clock comes back the same, so I think its a bug in reading the time in hisoft basic :roll:
