you need to do a SetClock Reset command since your clock is
totally confused. Then set the date and do a SetClock Save.
As for memory, you won't always get back what you started with,
even if you do an Avail Flush. There are myriad reasons, but a few
are: the program didn't free up all the memory it allocated, a sign
of a bad program; the resources allocated by one program are still in
use by another program, if so, you won't get that memory back until
the other program is finished with it; and simple differences in what
was allocated between the start and end of the program, even if it
frees everything up.
Do NOT kill the RAM: disk. It is required by the system in
AmigaDOS 2.04 or better, and highly recommended for AmigaDOS 1.3x.
There are a lot of things tucked into the Ram: disk that have to be
there in order to have your workbench setup the way you desire.
If memory is a problem, it is definitely time to consider
upgrading your system by a couple of megabytes, especially if your
system is a stock A1200. Your system will run faster and you won't
run into this problem unless you run a megaprogram.
Your best bet for adding speach to your Amiga is to find a copy of
AmigaDOS 1.3 or less somewhere and copy the relevent files off of it.
If you need to know which ones, ask and I'll provide a list. So far
as I know, there isn't a PD solution to this one.
I hope this helps.
