Hi there...

My AMI BIOS isn't Y2K safe... it sets the year always to 2094 when
the comp gets rebooted.

But, I found a little solution:

How can I read out the day and the month from the BIOS with C
that I can include those values into the DOS "date" command?

in Perl I would do that like: system("date", "$day.$month.2000");

I would run this little tool every time my comp get's started to
change the wrong year to 2000.

Any suggestions ?
