  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Function 2Ch reports the time of day as calculated from the ROM-BIOS
    clock-tick count.

       Notes:         This Function has a complementary register format to
                      that of Function 2Dh, Set System Time.

                      On most systems, the hundreths field will only be
                      accurate to within 1/18.2 seconds rather than 1/100
                      seconds.

                      In some systems in which the real-time clock does
                      not track hundredths of a second, the value in DL
                      may be unpredictable.
