1692.0. "Time-how to set it?" by HYSTER::DEARBORN (Trouvez Mieux) Fri Sep 16 1988 10:12

    I just got a new 2000.  I was under the impression that it has an
    internal clock.  If so, how do you set it.  The Workbench disk that
    came with it was corrupt, so I had to use an old one from my 1000.
    
    Is this disk missing something from the startup-sequence?
    
    Any clues?  If I'm missing something, could someone put what I'm
    missing, on the net, so that I can get it?

	'SETCLOCK OPT LOAD' should go into your startup-sequence. If you need to correct the time via Preferences or the SETDATE command, you should SETCLOCK OPT SAVE to save the new settings. Ed.
1692.2	A suggestion...	RAVEN1::EVERHART		`Fri Sep 16 1988 14:16`	11
	Ummm. If your 2000 was new, I suggest you go immediately, and get the corrupt disk replaced. If it was mail-order, you may need to find someone with an Amiga 2000 Workbench disk, and copy it. Whatever the case may be, you're entitled to a corruption free disk. Happy Computing! Chris P.S. Change computing to Amiga-ing.
1692.3	SETCLOCK is on the 500/2000 Workbecnh disk	TLE::RMEYERS	Randy Meyers	`Fri Sep 16 1988 16:09`	21
	Re: .0 SETCLOCK is documented in the CLI section in the middle of the Amiga 2000 manual. Set the system date as you would normally using DATE or Preferences. Execute the CLI command "SETCLOCK OPT SAVE" Put the CLI command "SETCLOCK OPT LOAD" into your startup-sequence. SETCLOCK is a new CLI command on the Workbench disk shipped with 500s and 2000s. If you just have the 1.2 upgrade from a year ago, you don't have it. Since I believe any one with a name like Randy must be honest and trustworthy, if you send me a blank disk, I'll copy the 2000 Workbench disk on to it. Randy Meyers ZKO 2-3/N30

	That's odd... I think of 'horny' when I think of Randy. Ed.
1692.5	Hmmm	HPSTEK::SENNA		`Fri Sep 16 1988 17:05`	4
	...and what about his pal Bruce? ;')

	Re: .4, .5 You two just fail to appreciate the obviously noble sound of the name "Randy," which has suffered vile and undeserved slander do to British slang. Re: .4 Be careful about free-association in public. It's an open invitation to psycho-analysis :-).
1692.7	give me a break...	HYSTER::DEARBORN	Trouvez Mieux	`Tue Sep 20 1988 17:31`	7
	I always thought my name was appropriate. But back to clock setting. Thanks for the advice. Randy
