CLOCK01.SYS in Warp 3 Fixpaks 37 and 38 and Warp 4 Fixpaks 
7, 8, and 9 can cause the System clock on some systems to 
jump from the 29th of one month to the 1st of the next 
month.  Systems currently known to experience this problem 
are:

o Toshiba Satelite 420 Laptop
o Toshiba Satelite 210 Laptop
o IBM Valuepoint xxxxx
o IBM PC340

To see if your system has this problem after applying one 
of the Fixpaks mentioned above, do the following:

 1. Shutdown all applications
 2. Start the System Clock program from the System Setup 
    folder
 3. Click mouse button 2 on the clock face, select 
    properties.
 4. Click on the View tab
 5. Select "Both date and time" under Information
 6. Select "Digital" under Mode.
 7. Click on the "Date/Time" tab
 8. Set system time to 11:59:30
 9. Set system date to 28
10. Close the Properties window

Watch the date as the time crosses midnight.  If it jumps 
to the 1st of the month then you have the problem, follow 
the instructions below.  If not, you do not have the 
problem and do not need to apply the fix below.

In either case, reset the clock to the correct date and 
time after the test.

To resolve this problem, replace CLOCK01.SYS in the 
OS2\BOOT directory of your boot drive with the one from 
CLOCK01.ZIP in this directory.

Instructions:

1. Download CLOCK01.ZIP in binary

2. Unzip CLOCK01.ZIP (Use UNZIP or PKUNZIP)
     ==> 4-27-98 5:07p   4400 clock01.sys

3. Rename \OS2\BOOT\CLOCK01.SYS CLOCK01.FPK on your boot 
   drive

4. Copy CLOCK01.ZIP to \OS2\BOOT on your boot drive

5. Shutdown and reboot your system. Repeat the test to 
   verify the problem is fixed.
