 _dos_getdate()          Get the system date

 #include   <dos.h>

  void _dos_getdate(date);
  struct dosdate_t *date;     Location of returned date

    _dos_getdate() uses MS-DOS function 2Ah to obtain the current system
    date. The date is returned in struct dosdate_t, defined in dos.h:

           struct dosdate_t {
              unsigned char day;          1-31
              unsigned char month;        1-12
              unsigned int year;          1980-2099
              unsigned char dayofweek;    0-6 (0 = Sunday)
              }

   Portability:     MS-DOS only, version 1.0 or higher

                                   "Saturday" };

           main()
           {
              struct dos_date_t date;

              _dos_getdate(&date);
              printf("Today is %s, %d-%d-%d\n", day_of_week[date.dayofweek],
           date.month, date.day, date.year);
