Hi all,

A promise is a promise: the next (last?) update:

- All BIOSes now have the clock enabled, running from the 20 ms interrupt
signal.
- CP/M-3, MP/M and Dos+ support time and date natively. The TIME.COM tool
from dos+ has been patched to work in CP/M 2.2 also.
- All time and date related binaries are y2k compliant.

- DOWNLOAD.COM finally has been fixed, it will run on CP/M-2.2, Dos+ and
CP/M-3 with Grant's original upload format. It will not run in MP/M.
This was achieved by eliminating (almost) all BDOS character output, except
for one CR/LF at the end of the initial command. This only affects Dos+,
where it causes the first User reference in a batch to be ignored and
interpreted as the current user (usually user0). This can be fixed by
typing 2 spaces in front of the first U.

- The whole file package has been cleaned up, removing old files and
doubles. swapped the original source of Dos+ with the hacked up version I
had been using. Made a user manual of sorts and simplified the install
instructions.

I put the SD-card back on the standard clock. Although I have not
experienced any problems with overclocking, I feel that it should be the
choice of the user, not mine. Feel free to try the faster clock if you so
desire.

I think I sorted all the outstanding issues, So this is actually a sad
moment. I had a lot of fun getting it to work right, but now the fun is
over. (until someone find the bugs, that is :-)

here is the package:

Have fun with it
