[AccessD] A2K: This should be easy

Hi Stuart

Oh, I'm old enough to know about Date and Time and DOS - and drivers
for add-on battery clocks for XT machines.

What I didn't know was that these (Date and Time) were equivalent to
those of VBA; I've always regarded these as functions to only read the
settings of DOS (or WinNT+).
