I think it is weird, too, but I do know this is one of a few (only?) games
that will not play at all if it detects a date/time stamp mismatch when
compared to the system time.  The error message it gives references
potential cheating.  What it really means here is that the dos session that
runs the maintenance and the session the door has been opened in have
somehow got their date/time out of sync.
