[comp.os.vms] Time Of Day Program

zar@IAGO.CALTECH.EDU (Dan Zirin) (06/27/87)

I have written a program that displays the date and time a bit nicer
than the "SHOW TIME" command on VMS. Here are some examples:

     $ TIME
     Today is Friday, June 26, 1987 at 4:51 in the afternoon.
     $ TIME ENGLISH
     Today is Friday, June 26, 1987 at 4:51 in the afternoon.
     $ TIME FRENCH
     C'est aujourd'hui vendredi, 26 juin, 1987 a 4:51 dans l'apres-midi.
     $ TIME GERMAN
     Heute ist Freitag, der 26.Juni 1987 um 4:52 nachmittags.
     $ TIME HEBREW
     Hayom yom Shishi, ha 26 be Yuni, 1987. Vehazman 4:52 baachartsohoraim.
     $ TIME PORTUGESE
     Hoje e sexta, dia 26 de Junho de 1987. Sao 4:51 da tarde.
     $ TIME SPANISH
     Hoy es viernes, dia 26 de Junio de 1987. Son las 4:57 de la tarde.

Is anyone else interested in this? Also, can someone provide more
translations? Possibly even correct these?

After making several changes to the DAYWEEK program to include Dutch,
Finish, Icelandic, and Swedish to the existing languages (English),
French, German, Hebrew, Portugese, and Spanish, I have sent the source
to those who requested source. Bitch if you sent me mail and haven't
received it by the weekend.
