I don't have the list of DOS function calls in front of me, right now, but there definitely is a call which returns the current weekday in one of the registers. 0 = Sunday and 6 = Saturday. I've written a couple of small applications using the function and it works very well.There are four DOS functions grouped together. They are called get date, set date, get time, and set time. I believe the one you want for the weekday is get date. Martin McCormick Amateur Radio WB5AGZ Oklahoma State University Computer Center Data Communication sGroup Stillwater, OK
