; showdate.asm
;
; prints the date and time to stdout
; equivalent to the following C++ program:
;
;#include <iostream.h>
;#include <time.h>
;
;int main()
;{
; time_t t;
; time(&t); // get the current time
; cout << ctime(&t); // convert to string and print
; return 0;
;}
;
; This code may be assembled and linked using Borland's TASM:
; tasm /la /m2 showdate
; tlink /Tdc showdate
;
STDOUT equ 01h ; handle of standard output device
DOS_GET_DATE equ 02ah ; get system date
DOS_GET_TIME equ 02ch ; get system time
DOS_WRITE_HANDLE equ 040h ; write to handle
DOS_TERMINATE equ 04ch ; terminate with error code
