DOS and Batch Files

Place Date and Time in the Prompt

SUMMARY: When working long nights debugging batch files, have the time and date displayed in a place easy to find - the command prompt.

Always looking around for the current date and time? Why not place it in a useful place, say, the command prompt?

Add this line to AUTOEXEC.BAT:

prompt Time: $t$_Date: $d$_$p$g
