    JS> Didn't work...   
   Well, seems to be, arcanoa changed something there. On ecomstation 2.2   
   date.exe depends on gnu-date. Underneath is the current helpfile of my date.exe   
      
   =##= Anfang "dateh.txt" =##=   
   Usage: C:\ecs\KLIBC\bin\date.exe [OPTION]... [+FORMAT]   
     or:  C:\ecs\KLIBC\bin\date.exe [-u|--utc|--universal] [MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]]   
   Display the current time in the given FORMAT, or set the system date.   
      
     -d, --date=STRING         display time described by STRING, not `now'   
     -f, --file=DATEFILE       like --date once for each line of DATEFILE   
     -r, --reference=FILE      display the last modification time of FILE   
     -R, --rfc-2822            output date and time in RFC 2822 format   
         --rfc-3339=TIMESPEC   output date and time in RFC 3339 format.   
                               TIMESPEC=`date', `seconds', or `ns' for   
                               date and time to the indicated precision.   
     -s, --set=STRING          set time described by STRING   
     -u, --utc, --universal    print or set Coordinated Universal Time   
         --help     display this help and exit   
         --version  output version information and exit   
      
   FORMAT controls the output.  The only valid option for the second form   
   specifies Coordinated Universal Time.  Interpreted sequences are:   
      
     %%   a literal %   
     %a   locale's abbreviated weekday name (e.g., Sun)   
     %A   locale's full weekday name (e.g., Sunday)   
     %b   locale's abbreviated month name (e.g., Jan)   
     %B   locale's full month name (e.g., January)   
     %c   locale's date and time (e.g., Thu Mar  3 23:05:25 2005)   
     %C   century; like %Y, except omit last two digits (e.g., 21)   
     %d   day of month (e.g, 01)   
     %D   date; same as %m/%d/%y   
     %e   day of month, space padded; same as %_d   
     %F   full date; same as %Y-%m-%d   
     %g   last two digits of year of ISO week number (see %G)   
     %G   year of ISO week number (see %V); normally useful only with %V   
     %h   same as %b   
     %H   hour (00..23)   
     %I   hour (01..12)   
     %j   day of year (001..366)   
     %k   hour ( 0..23)   
     %l   hour ( 1..12)   
     %m   month (01..12)   
     %M   minute (00..59)   
     %n   a newline   
     %N   nanoseconds (000000000..999999999)   
     %p   locale's equivalent of either AM or PM; blank if not known   
     %P   like %p, but lower case   
     %r   locale's 12-hour clock time (e.g., 11:11:04 PM)   
     %R   24-hour hour and minute; same as %H:%M   
     %s   seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC   
     %S   second (00..60)   
     %t   a tab   
     %T   time; same as %H:%M:%S   
     %u   day of week (1..7); 1 is Monday   
     %U   week number of year, with Sunday as first day of week (00..53)   
     %V   ISO week number, with Monday as first day of week (01..53)   
     %w   day of week (0..6); 0 is Sunday   
     %W   week number of year, with Monday as first day of week (00..53)   
     %x   locale's date representation (e.g., 12/31/99)   
     %X   locale's time representation (e.g., 23:13:48)   
     %y   last two digits of year (00..99)   
     %Y   year   
     %z   +hhmm numeric timezone (e.g., -0400)   
     %:z  +hh:mm numeric timezone (e.g., -04:00)   
     %::z  +hh:mm:ss numeric time zone (e.g., -04:00:00)   
     %:::z  numeric time zone with : to necessary precision (e.g., -04, +05:30)   
     %Z   alphabetic time zone abbreviation (e.g., EDT)   
      
   By default, date pads numeric fields with zeroes.   
   The following optional flags may follow `%':   
      
     - (hyphen) do not pad the field   
     _ (underscore) pad with spaces   
     0 (zero) pad with zeros   
     ^ use upper case if possible   
     # use opposite case if possible   
      
   After any flags comes an optional field width, as a decimal number;   
   then an optional modifier, which is either   
   E to use the locale's alternate representations if available, or   
   O to use the locale's alternate numeric symbols if available.
