- The timestmp program writes the current date and time to the standard output
- device. It accepts no arguments.
-
- The ARC file includes six files:
- fclbtime.cmd a command (batch) file with a single command that will
- generate timestmp.exe by compiling, linking, and
- "binding" timestmp.for
- timestmp.doc this file
- timestmp.exb the executable file; "bound" so it will run under DOS,
- OS/2 real mode ("the DOS box"), and OS/2 protected mode
- (with full-screen, not windowed, prompt)
- timestmp.exp the executable file; for OS/2 protected mode only
- timestmp.exr the executable file; for OS/2 real mode and DOS only
- timestmp.for the source code
-
- The timestmp command was written by Robert E. Zaret using Microsoft FORTRAN
- 5.1 under IBM OS/2 1.1. The author claims no copyright, and thus relinquishes
- all rights; (i.e., this program is truly in the public domain). In fact, the
- author encourages others to make modifications, such as:
- rewrite in assembler or C
- accept argument(s) to control format(s) of date and time (the number
- of possible formats is staggering)
- rewrite for Windows or OS/2 windowed prompt
