Already heard from the FOR loop in DOS. Well here you can use it. Try the
following command in your bat script.
for /f in "tokens=1,2" %%a in ('date /t') do set curdate=%%b
Make sure that a normal date /t on a DOSBox give you both the actual day and the
date. If this is not so you should modify the command a bit. The tokens card
specify the number of fields in the output of the "date /t" command. All the
fields will be filled in alfabetical order.
Hope you have success, oderwise mail me
