Hi,
try to use 2Ch function of DOS (21h) interrupt:

Code:

mov ah, 2Ch
int 21h

returns:
CH = Hours (0-23)
CL = Minutes (0-59)
DH = Seconds (0-59)
DL = MSeconds (0-99)

or function 02h of BIOS (1Ah) interrupt:

Code:

mov ah, 2h
int 1Ah

returns:
if CF is set, then RTClock doesn't work
CH = Hours in BCD
CL = Minutes in BCD
DH = Seconds in BCD

P.S Sorry for my poor english.
