In GNU Emacs 18.55.5 of Mon Apr  2 1990 on mrspoc (xenix)

@date is not handled by texinfo.

I sometimes use a cover page on texinfo documents that includes an
@date construct (which is handled by the TeX side, but not the info
side) so I have to hard-code the date in the @ifinfo section.

As I keep working on the file, the @date in the @iftex section prints
the current date and the hardcoded date in the @ifinfo section remains
unchanged.

It would be great if I could use the @date construct in the @ifinfo
section. The following patch fixes this:

*** texinfmt.el~	Wed May 23 13:17:09 1990
--- texinfmt.el	Wed May 23 13:17:09 1990
***************
*** 816,819
    (insert "..."))
  
  (put 'refill 'texinfo-format 'texinfo-format-refill)
  (defun texinfo-format-refill ()

--- 816,828 -----
    (insert "..."))
  
+ (put 'date 'texinfo-format 'texinfo-format-date)
+ (defun texinfo-format-date ()
+   (texinfo-discard-command)
+   (let ((str (current-time-string)) date-str)
+     (setq date-str
+ 	  (concat (substring str 8 11) (substring str 4 8)
+ 		  (substring str 20 24)))
+     (insert date-str)))
+ 
  (put 'refill 'texinfo-format 'texinfo-format-refill)
  (defun texinfo-format-refill ()
