is there a way to set the system time in DosBox to something other than the host system time? i have an app i want to test for a midnight rollover bug, and would prefer to test it at will, and many times, rather than actually leave it running overnight and only be able to test it once per day.

For midnight rollover you need SVN of Dosbox, btw.
And no, I don't think you can set it to a different time. You can change the system time, though to be able to test it more often 😉

since my system is being used as a server for other things, that's really not an option. i've found it can't be done in a vitual machine running DOS either... looks like i'll have to put together an old machine for testing...
