Subj: REPLY TO MSG #5598 (SYSTEM DATE)

There IS a bug with the DATE routine on the Model 100's ROM.  It's fixed in the
Model 102, kinda; the year doesn't advance....  I think the
clock-calendar-keyboard routine forgets to disable interrupts, and so the
routine may increment the year even if it's not December 31; I usually hear of
people encountering this problem when they are using TELCOM at high baud rates,
so I'm not sure why you are having this problem.  Do you have some kind of IPL
program (e.g. "TIMSET.BA")?  If not, perhaps you can create one to
automatically set your year for you.
