DATE--Notes

Adjusting for days in a month

MS-DOS is programmed to change months and years correctly, whether the month
has 28, 29, 30, or 31 days.

Using the DATE command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file

To prompt users for the date every time the computer is restarted, include
the DATE command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

Changing the date format

To display the date in other format besides mm-dd-yy, add the COUNTRY
command to your CONFIG.SYS file. You can change the date format to the
European standard format (dd-mm-yy) or to the Scientific International
(Metric) format (yy-mm-dd).
