If you close the program with the clock displayed, and start it again later, then only the minutes and seconds are updated, the hour is still showing the old value (when leaving the program).

Example:
Closing the program at 16:25:10 and restarting it again at 21:42:35, the clock shows 16:42:35 (instead of 20:42:35) - only after clicking [T] it's correctly updated again.

And the same is true for the date display: the date is not updated at all, if you start the program again e.g. a few days later.

Hi Franz,

Sorry for the delay, I have been at work, but knew of the problem.

It is caused by the watch not knowing that a date or time has actually changed on start up. I had to compromise a bit and simulate a [T] key press on start up if a valid HP01.ini file is found. That way the microcode can update its registers with the present time/date values as set by the PC. The 12/24 hour mode etc should still be set as previous.

It seems ok as far as I can tell.

A new download is available.

cheers

Tony
