[Coco] Back to os9level 2

[Alex Evans]

I'm not sure what you want to patch the clock to do. The way I see it
is that you can wither leave the clock alone and patch the utilities
that misinterpret the system time, or patch the utilities that
misinterpret the system time. Now, the matter is different when you
start talking about dealing with modules that support hardware RTCs.
Look at it this way, the current clock module (60Hz, but I assume 50Hz
is the same) will roll over from 99-12-31 to 100-01-01 and would store
the current year as 120 (the epoch is 1900). What do you think the
system should store the current year as, and how do you intend to
manage this by only patching the clock module?
