Hello Torsten,

 TB> Well, the date.exe command on arcaos/ecomstation is very special.

The "date" command in the 16-bit CMD.EXE in OS/2 can't display the date only 
but has a prompt to change the date.  The date command in eCS/ArcaOS is based 
on the GNU 'date' command which will do what Joe's wanting.  Or, instead of 
screwing around with batch commands, run a single REXX command which will do 
what he wants.  One of the best parts of OS/2 is REXX. :)

Later,
Sean
