I am also doing a project with a 16c74.  I am using TIMER1 in ASYNC mode for
a Real Time Clock with an Epson watch crystal (32K) and it works very well
indoors.

I just followed AN582 - Low-Power Real Time Clock for the code.  I did add
code to keep track of the date as well as the time.

I've been running indoors for a couple of weeks and my RTC is more accurate
than a PC's RTC.  The real test is when I start running in outdoors in a
real environment.

Good Luck

Peter
