If I run Hiarcs on NT overnight, sometimes I get a popup message that takes me out of full-screen DOS mode. The clock got frozen at where it stopped. Then, when I restore focus and go to full screen again, the clock runs like a wild time warp, catching up with what time it is. But it does not do it all at once in one step. It just spins quickly through the seconds until it gets back to the right time.
