This version of the program is written to run as a stand alone COM
file.  It has been customized for the AMPRO LB (Z-80) computer
for those who do not have a hardware real-time clock such
as the Kenmore Technologies Z-Time, or SmartClock.

Each time a file is edited or assembled the version number can be
incremented and the current date and time will be inserted 
into the first record of the file.

This program loads the 1st record from a file and then looks 
for 'VERS:- ', 'DATE:- ' and 'TIME:- ' When it finds any of 
the three it will update ONLY that data. Each entry MUST be 
exactly as shown, upper case characters, colon, minus and 
space all with the high bit off. After updating, it writes 
the modified record back to disk to the same place.

When creating a new text file, insert 'VERS:- 00.00' and this 
program will increment the minor number each time you run it 
If the option 'M' is used, the major number will be incre- 
mented and the minor zeroed. If the 'N' option is used, the 
version number will be unchanged. 'M' and 'N' are mutually 
exclusive. 

To use the 'DATE:- ' and 'TIME:- ' functions, this program
expects to find three consecutive bytes at MONTH and HOUR,
in BCD format. E.G. to print the date 07/31/82, the bytes
07H 31H 82H should be available at MONTH, MONTH+1, and
MONTH2. This version, which has been customized for the
AMPRO LB (Z-80) computers requires BIOS version 3.6 or higher,
and the presence of the CTC software clock option, plus the
correct jumpers enabling to enable its operation as detailed
in the AMPRO hardware reference manual.

If you do not have a CTC clock ignore, the 'month' and 'hour'
equates. They are both read-only and will only be read if 
'DATE:- ' or 'TIME:- ' is found in the 1st record of the 
file. 

As a part of the 'TITLE' line each page of a listing will be 
time stamped. Don't forget enough spaces after time and date.

Command examples:
=================

timestmp  xyz<cr>    increment minor version number, date &
		      time stamp. 

timestmp  xyz n<cr>  as above, but leave version number
		      unchanged.

timestmp  xyz m n<cr>    INVALID (only 1 option allowed)

Source file extension will always default to 'Z80' if not
otherwise specified.
