I propose, in the interest of avoid harse comments from the more
"seasoned" C/C++ users, that perhaps we should create a NEW
newsgroup
               comp.os.msdos.djgpp.beginner
and they in there, new comers can be treated with the proper
respect due them.

I still would like to see a working example of    strftime
since I haven't been successful getting the LIBC.hlp
example to work for me yet.

/* This DJGPP program PROPERLY displays the
   Current Date/Time (as set by the PC's system time).

NOTE: I still have NO WORKING EXAMPLE of how to do this
	  using 'strftime';  if you have a WORKING example
      example for   strftime, I would be happy to test
	  it.

#include <stdio.h>

 time_t now;

int main(void) {
char buf[100];

 time(&now);
 strcpy( buf, asctime(localtime(&now)) );

printf("The current date/time is %s", buf );

}

/* Outputs:
     The Current Date/Time is: Aug 1 22:59:56 1999
(which was correct at "that" time, hehe)
