If someone has old programs (perhaps that they wrote themselves) written before the NSC vendors adopted this newer convention, they'll be unhappy, and potentially want to be able to configure this as an emulation option. Anyway, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Right. If NSC actually used two different conventions, then a configurable option would be the only conforming emulation. The problem only arises because of the implicit "set" of the NSC to the host's real-time clock. If the NSC setting utility had to be run, the actual covention could be NSC's little secret. -michael NadaNet 3.1 for Apple II parallel computing!
