Not a bug as such, but an Amiga problem which I should warn you about. Some programs which do timing query the system time, which is "guaranteed" to be unique and monotonically increasing. As you can imagine, changing the system time may cause problems. Setting it backwards can cause crashes. Setting it forwards by large amounts may cause problems with timing programs. Shareware which expires after a certain amount of time may think your time is up, and MIAMI MAY DISCONNECT YOU DUE TO INACTIVITY! If you have any trouble at all with this, please set the default operation so "System" is NOT checked, but "BattClock" is. This will cause most events to adjust your BattClock but leave the system time alone. Please also see Year 2000 compatibility More General Bugs When using ClockDaemon compatibility mode, the displayed time is sometimes incorrect. However, the clock will be set correctly. When (un)snapshotting the Facts icon you will get three notifications that it has changed. This is due to how Workbench modifies the icon position information. In normal use this should not cause any problems. Note that if the clock shows up as an invalid time or "runs away" (ie. increases by more than 1 second every second), this is caused by the micro-seconds in the system time having been set to an invalid amount if this happens to you and you are using the latest version of FACTS, REPORT IT TO ME IMMEDIATELY! |
