I am using DosBox 0.72 to run an old DOS application on Windows XP and all works well - except after the time passes 23:59:59 it goes to 24:00:00 etc and the date does not change. Is there a fix/patch for this please.
Thanks.

Not something official. I think there is a patch (to the source code) somewhere on dosbox.sourceforge.net.

My build has a fix for that (see my homepage, the 'web' button below)

Hmmm. I must be growing old and blind h-a-l. I went to your site, but didn't see anything indicating that you had it. I will have to look more closely next time.

mentioned as "midnight overflow" in this case... but there is no guarantee I didn't forget something with all these changes 😉

Many thanks for the quick response - I downloaded MB4 and it cured the problem - thanks again!
