COMMAND TYPE: Internal                  VERSION: 2.0 and up

If DATE is entered with no parameters, the current date will be
displayed and you will be prompted to enter a new date.  If the date
is correct, press ENTER.
If you wish, you may enter the date immediately after DATE in the
format mm-dd-yy.  The format used to display the date is a function of
the country selected in the <COUNTRY> command in <CONFIG.SYS>.  European
formats will be dd-mm-yy.  On input, you may use "-" or "/" as
separators.  This command also sets the hardware clock, if one is
present in your computer (AT only)
If there is no <AUTOEXEC.BAT> file, the commands DATE and <TIME> are executed
automatically when the computer is booted.
