          DATE - Displays and sets system date 

     SYNOPSIS: 

          DATE [/D] [nn-nn-nn] 

     DESCRIPTION: 

          DATE is used to display and set the system date.  If no date 
          is specified on the command line, DATE will prompt for a new 
          date to be entered.  If no date is entered, the date will 
          not be changed.  

          DATE recognizes the COUNTRY setting in the CONFIG.SYS, and 
          will expect the user to enter the date in the proper 
          format.  

     OPTIONS: 

          /D - Display date only.  DATE will not prompt for a new 
          date; system date  will not be changed.
