[AccessD] A2K: This should be easy

Anyone in this list besides me old enough to remember CP/M? Those were the
days! Once I did a big app on a computer system called Molecular, that had a
multi-user version of CP/M and 10MB hard disks! Bitchin system.

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+).
