SYMPTOMS
========
After Microsoft MS-DOS version 5.0 or later as been installed on a Vendex
Headstart XT computer, the date will not display correctly. When the correct
date is set, this system continues to display the incorrect year.
CAUSE
=====
A file called ST.COM is responsible for maintaining the correct date and time on
the Vendex Headstart XT computer. ST.COM was written specifically for this
computer for use with MS-DOS version 3.2 ONLY. This file will not maintain the
correct year under any other version of MS-DOS. However, the time, month, and
day settings will be correctly maintained by ST.COM. According to Philips
technical support, the only workaround is to purchase a compatible 8-bit clock
card to maintain proper settings.
