SETTIME.C is the example program to demonstrate the _dos_getdate() function.
CAUSE
These errors are caused by the following two lines which are pasted into the file with the QuickHelp utility:
Topic: SETTIME.C

-<>-
The "<>" symbol in the second line is the character 0x04 that indicates the end of the topic.
RESOLUTION

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in QuickHelp versions 1.7 and 1.83. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
