Setting the Real-time Clock

Your computer automatically keeps track of the time and date using a
real-time clock. Because the clock is backed up by a battery, it keeps track of
the time and date even while the computer is turned off.
The MS-DOS TIME and DATE commands, as well as many software
packages, display the time and date held in the clock, but they cannot make
permanent changes to the time and date settings.
Use the Real-time clock option if you need to change the time and date
permanently. For example, you may need to change the clock to accommo-
date seasonal adjustments, such as daylight saving time. Your computer
automatically adjusts for leap years. Note that even though MS-DOS and
your applications programs may use a different format, the real-time clock
uses a 24-hour time format to store the time.
