Sorry Ron for my confusion over the DS50. As it happens, someone did put up an article on BCT about setting the Olympus's clock, which seems to be one of the more important features that's not voiced. I think I was getting mixed up with the Victor Stream article which has appeared recently.

However, it can be done, but as Steve says, using the software makes it easier. The screen cannot be read, but this is only a very minor aspect. I can't find the URL, but Michael Lang has published a very excellent rough guide on the web.
