Hello All ...

Yesterday I posted a MSGID generating algorithm, unfortunately containing a
small bug. It didn't handle the case where the RTC was in AM/PM mode right.
(the sign bit indicating PM in CMOS won't survive the bcd to bin
conversion)

Just in case someone is considering using it, please replace:

===

        jns     {at}{at}24HourFormatOrAM          ; PM (if RTC in AM/PM mode) ?
        xor     al, 090h                    ; yes, clear sign, set bit 4
{at}{at}24HourFormatOrAM:

===

with:

===

; If RTC in AM/PM mode, CMOS holds 081h .. 08Ch for PM. The "bcd-bin"
; conversion will have translated this to 051h...05Ch, that is, with
; bit 4 allready set, so in all cases we can simply mask off the upper
; three bits.

        and     al, 01Fh                    ; zero out upper three bits

===
