I have written a simple eu script that polls a serial device every =
second, time stamps the data received from this device and appends these =
data to an output file. My serial interfacing is based upon a hack of =
E-TERM.EX and time stamping is performed using date(). I'm currently =
testing my program within the DOS emulator of Win 2000 - with the =
intention of running the final version within DOS/DESQVIEW.
My problem: My program is intended to run 24 hours a day 365/6 days a =
year - I have noticed that if I change 'the clock' settings using win =
2000 or DOS while my program is running only date changes and not =
hour/minute changes are picked up by date(). Can anyone help here - I =
wish to supply accurate time to my system (via LAN,GPS,INTERNET) and =
then be sure that my program picks it up.
