Here is a routine that takes the DOS system clock and outputs a modified
ordinal date string of the form YYMMDDDHHMMSS. For example, if the date
is January 10, 1991 and the time is 11:32:54 AM, the routine will produce
the string 910110113254. Please don't confuse this with the Julian date
- it's not.
It can be very helpful for naming Disk Volumes, Files, Data sets etc..
The code is in TurboC (tiny memory model), short, straightforward, and
Public Domain.

    Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

    This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

    But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
