Hi,
I have a strange problem with setting date and time in my program.
I read realtime clock by the mean of function :
int real_time_clock(int cmd,struct time *real_time)
{ __dpmi_regs r;
  int tmp;

  if (cmd==0) //read real time clock
   { r.h.ah = 0x2;
     __dpmi_int(0x1a, &r);
     real_time->ti_hour=bcd2bin(r.h.ch);
     real_time->ti_min=bcd2bin(r.h.cl);
     real_time->ti_sec=bcd2bin(r.h.dh);
     real_time->ti_hund=0;
   }
  else
   { r.h.ah = 0x3;
     r.h.ch=real_time->ti_hour;
     r.h.cl=real_time->ti_min;
     r.h.dh=real_time->ti_sec;
     __dpmi_int(0x1a, &r);
   }

  return (1);
}
And then call settime() to synchronize real and system timers.

{ struct time now;
  real_time_clock(0,&now);
  settime(&now);
}
Everething is Ok until midnight - then time is 0:0:0 settime() increase
the date but then the time become 0:0:1 it sets date to the old
value :( What is my problem and how can I solve it ?
