Welcome to our world! :)

As far as I know, you can't change the date or time with Euphoria. You can
read it with the date() function, but it's not rewritable back to DOS or
Windows [I'll drop a feature _hint_ here for Rob C. :)].
A DOS system call may be what you're after.
Try:
system("echo.|time hh:mm:ss",2) -- the 'echo.|' is important!
and:
system("echo.|date mm/dd/yyyy",2)
or depending on how your computer is set up:
system("echo.|date dd/mm/yyyy",2)
The 'echo.|' sections _are_ important. Without them the computer will wait
for you to press a key. Not good in a running program.

Hi Arlie,
There are some routines by Jacques Deschenes, called
SetDate() and SetTime(), I think, somewhere in an older library he wrot=
e. To be found in the Euphoria Archives.
Hope this helps,
