Question:

I need to change the system date using WinBatch. I have tried something like:

	newdate = "01/08/98"
	RunWait(Environment("COMSPEC"),"/c date %newdate%")

using DOS, but this is not dependable because the DOS window hangs on my Windows 95. This does seem to work pretty good with Win 3.1 though.

Answer:

See the function IntControl(58...), to set the system time.
