Okay. How would you like to achieve this result?
Good point. I was initially thinking about INT 21/AX=5701h, but now I see that this call supports only files, not directories. This makes the entire idea immediately more complex.
My fav is the simple text file with "SvarDOS was installed from [yyyy-mm-dd|dd mmm yyyy] medium on [yyyy-mm-dd|dd mmm yyyy]." May it be in the root directory or in %DOSDIR%.
Having it in %DOSDIR% would make sense, yes.
If you still think, the cluster would be wasted, you could write a complete install log to that file. After formatting C:, of course.
That's actually a good idea, which would bring much more added value than just storing a build date. And it's relatively easy to do: just redirecting the output of the post-install script (C:\TEMP\POSTINST.BAT) into a log file, for example in %DOSDIR%\INSTALL.LOG. Currently this script outputs everything to screen, which is useless because most of the information is lost anyway due to scrolling.
