available if the driver is loaded. These options may be displayed at
the DOS prompt by typing PCRTC {enter}.
Setting the PCRTC Time and Date
There are several methods of setting the time and date of
the PCRTC. To manually set the time and date, use the DOS TIME
and DATE commands to first set the DOS clock, then use the /u
command line option to set the PCRTC time and date to be equal to
the DOS time and date. The time and date can also be set manually
using the command PCRTC /t and PCRTC /d. This sets the PCRTC
time and date without affecting the DOS time and date.
