RODATE

This is a small utility to synchronize the time and date on the PC card with the RISC OS side of the computer.

It was written for a few friends of mine that could or would not upgrade their copy of !PC/!PCx86 from either Acorn or from Aleph 1 when the millennium problem hit. New versions (2.13p or 3.03) of !PCpro do not have a millennium problem but even then this utility might be useful.

Unlike Aleph 1's synctime that only synchronizes the time between the PC card and the RISC OS side of the machine, this utility also synchronizes the date. And it has an extra option to set the PC card time to GMT/UTC time as generated by RISC OS. This latter option was meant to simulate a CMOS clock running at GMT/UTC rather than at local time in order to allow windows (and other programs) to do their own summertime/daylight saving time management, but of course things do not work that easily.

The utility requires ARMedit by Alexander Thoukydides. Download it from his site: here or here.
