- The dBASE command file, CPS.CMD is designed to set the dBASE date to the
- current date stored in a Mountain Hardware CPS card. This routine
- assumes the standard CPS clock driver has been loaded at address F300H
- as documented in the CPS CP/M manual. Comments in the command
- file describe the functioning of the command. The only tricky part
- deals with the fact that dBASE uses a different format for strings
- than the CPS driver (which was written to handle MBASIC strings).
- The conversion is done by a small machine-language routine which
- is POKEd into memory.
