<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
<EM>Readclock</EM> reads the AT's real time clock and prints the result in a form
useful to date, namely, MMDDYYhhmmss. If the clock does not exist (e.g.,
on a PC), it outputs '-q' to query the user for the time. The example
given above can be put in /<EM>etc</EM>/<EM>rc</EM> to load the real time when the system
is booted.
