Actually, I meant to say "Date" not "Time".
Can't blame this on the europeans. "02/04/99" should work either way.
Actually, I assumed that it was operator error but the other apps work OK.
Since the other software works properly (IE: Profile III), I "think" we can
eliminate hardware problems. And... since the dummy behind the keyboard
(Me) is functioning correctly, that only leaves the software.
Another question: There are several sites on the net that have Model III
and IV software on-line. How do I get the software from a modern Pentium
(surfing machine) on to a diskette that is readable by the Model IV?
I also have a TRS-80 TL2 with 5-1/4 and 3-1/2 inch drives. Can I download
the software on to a 720K disk and then transfer it 360K using the TL2?
Thanks...

Are you sure you're entering the time in the "correct" format (i.e. not
like those silly Europeans who put the day before the month?)

That's entirely possible. I recommend using degaussed diskettes when
writing TRS-80 format on a 360k drive. Tim Mann's site includes the
TRSCROSS utility to run on the TL2.

Steve,
Hi. Do you have a disk drive bay empty? If yes, try installing the size and
type drive you have on the CLASSIC into the surfer. If the drive will not fit
inside the pentium, just do an external mount. I hope this helps you.
