Or if someone would come up with a GEOS program that would 
read the CMOS clock and reset the GEOS clock, the way

For those whose =system= (DOS) clock sometimes get messed up
(many PC games will do that), here's a li'l program that can
be run from the DOS prompt to re-set the system clock to the
hardware (CMOS) clock.  Note that this is for AT-class machines
only (286, 386, 486, Pentium); won't work on a PC or XT.
Just screen-capture and UUDECODE the following:
