After having accessed my Commodore drive, I noticed that the DOS clock is late. How is that possible?
There are two separate clocks: one is the CMOS clock, updated by the hardware, the other is the DOS clock, updated by a software interrupt. While accessing a Commodore drive, all interrupts are disabled so that they don’t interfere with the synchronization. In these intervals, the DOS clock is not updated, therefore it gets late. Don’t worry, if you reboot your machine, the DOS clock will be back to normal. • Q: I tried to extract LHA archives using the Commander and I saw a file name at the beginning of the uncompressed files and some of their last bytes were chopped off. How is this possible? A: You are using LHA 2.13 or an older version. The Commander and Star LHA are using the “print” command instead of the usual “extract” command. The reason for this is that when specifying the name of files to extract, a file name with a space inside (not unlikely for a Commodore file name) would make LHA assume it to be two separate file names. Therefore, all the files in the archive are printed
