Synching clock manager

[Arun Govind]

thank you for your response. 
I wonder what should you have meant by a *separate* hardware clock. I'm using a my PC itself as the target and all I wanted to synch the time with the BIOS time. I used the rtems_clock_set using a hard coded time and that worked. But how can I get the current time from BIOS? Sorry, I don't know much about BIOS routines.. Is there any prebuilt function that will do that?
