This command displays the current date and allows you to set the date.
 

    Current date is  6-24-88
    Enter new date:

You may enter the new date or press <RETURN> if you don't want to set a new date. Enter the date in the format "mm-dd-yy" where "mm" is the month, "dd" is the day, and "yy" is the year.

This command will produce meaningless results if you do not have a clock driver installed in your system. The two clock drivers are "CLOCK.SYS" and "JIFFY.SYS" — the first using the R-Time 8 en and the second using the jiffy counter to keep its time. By default, one of these drivers will be installed when you boot, but this can be overridden by creating a custom "CONFIG.SYS" file and not including these drivers in the configuration.
