Calendar Info Needed
I've a question for you: Does anybody know how the calendar in a PC, say
windows
9x/NT works? I mean, how does the computer know the date/day? I know they
use the
battery to "remember". But where does the info stored, and in what format?
If you don't know what am I asking for, let me put it this way:
Pick a digital watch with date function, the manufacturer said its calendar
is
"programmed" to year 2030, for example. That means the watch knows exactly
the
day for ANY given date between now and Dec 31, 2030. It knows which year is
a
leap year, date of week, and what's the day for, let's say Tuesday, June 15,
1999.
If you're using a GUI now, there's a date available to you to access
somewhere.
How are these info stored/programmed in a computer? Is it programmed
somewhere
in the ROM? Is it possible to access it with Euphoria?
