To  automatically  install  the  proper  clock  driver  each  time  the  computer  is 
booted, install

disk to be modified into any disk drive and choose the option Install clock driver

the  Return  key.  The 

DCLOCK.SYSTEM

  file  will  be  inserted  as  the  first  system 

program in the patched disk's directory. Each time the modified startup disk is 
booted, 

DCLOCK.SYSTEM

  will  be  executed,  displaying

Whenever  you  create  or  modify  ProDOS  files  under  the  modified  operating 
system,  the  files  will  be  automatically  tagged  with  the  current  date  and  time. 
Also,  any  application  programs  which  read  the  time  and  date  directly  from 
ProDOS will now be .
