Hello

Dirk,

I have developed and uploaded a demo for you:

http://www.lindersoft.com/projects/currentdate.zip

The "writecurdate.sb8" project compiles a small helper tool to retrieve the
current date in the yyyymmdd date formar. The "getdate.sb8" demo project
calls "writecurdate.exe" and stores the current date in the [CURRENTDATE]
compiler variable.

Thank you very much Friedrich, but this is not the final solution
hopefully ;)

Yes, it is.

It's impossible to provide all kind of built-in functions. For example,
another user might need the current "Gregorian Day" at compile time for his
own copy protection system. Or a user needs the current date/time Base64
encoded. And so on...

That's why you can "extend" the system on your own.
