Hey guys, I am on the Windows OS using NASM16, and I'd like to know how to set the system time..

Code so far:

[org 0100h]	;COM format
%include "Lib_1\Lib1.asm"

;settime Hour minute second date month year
;settime "6" "35" "00" "06" "01" "09"

;--------------------
;Lib1.asm
;string - Displays a string
;arg - pull arguments off the stack
;exit - exits with set ERRORLEVEL code
;--------------------

[section .text]

mov byte [bx], '0'	;Use BX as our byte counter

;-----------------------------
;Add string terminators to buffers
;-----------------------------
mov byte [hourbuffer + 2], '$'
;-----------------------------


;-----------------------------
START:
push bx		;Save the BYTE counter
arg		;Pull all the arguments off the stack
mov si,bx	;Put the arguments into SI
lodsb		;Advance one character in SI
pop bx		;Restore the BYTE counter
cmp al,'"'	;Check if the first character is a "
je near GETHOUR	;If it was a " (quote), branch and get the hour

jmp near ERROR	;If it was not a quote, flag an error
;-----------------------------


;-----------------------------
;GETHOUR - gets the passed hour argument
;-----------------------------
GETHOUR:
cmp bx,3	;Check if the hour buffer is full
je ERROR	;Flag an error

push bx		;Save the BYTE counter
lodsb		;Advance once more in SI
pop bx		;Restore the BYTE counter
cmp al, '"'	;Check for a " (quote)
je GETHOUR2	;Branch to last part of this command if true
mov byte [hourbuffer + bx],al	;Move the value in AL into the buffer
inc bx		;Increase the BYTE counter once
jmp near GETHOUR

;----
GETHOUR2:
string hours		;Display "Hours:"
string hourbuffer	;Display the hour buffer
exit 0

;-----------------------------



;-----------------------------
;ERROR - Error catcher
;-----------------------------
ERROR:
string syntaxerror ;Display correct command syntax
exit 1		;Exit with ERRORLEVEL of 1
;-----------------------------

[section .data]
;-----------------------------
;hourbuffer - holds the HOUR value
;-----------------------------
hourbuffer times 3 db 0
;-----------------------------

hours db "Hours:", "$"

;-----------------------------
;syntaxerror - displays correct command syntax
;-----------------------------
syntaxerror db 13, 10, "Invalid syntax, use:  ", '[settime "Hour minute second date month year"]', 13, 10, "$"
