Thanks Dominique.
I had looked at Tstamp and I believe that's why I opted for cygwin to give exactly the pattern I want. I'm not sure or clear how to get EXACTLY (e.g. Date=Wed 04/13/05 05:08:30 PM) from Tstamp; it seems to be very rigid or me being new not being able to figure it out. Help!
Thanks :)

I'd second Matt. It's unlikely <tstamp> cannot format a date the way you want, better and faster than date.exe, and in a cross platform manner.
Lookup the doc. If you can't sort it out, post again with the date issue, but I bet we'll figure it out. --DD
