This process was started by Rick Charnes and I refined it for my 
purposes.  I renamed zde.com rzde.com so that when I call for zde 
it uses the alias zde which check to see if the current date and 
the varable ld in sh.var file are the same if so it runs zde as 
normal.  If varable ld is not equal to the date the alias calls 
for DW (day of week, patched to put the date and time into the 
registors.) Then RS (which is RESOLVE.COM patched to run quiet) 
and ZEX50.COM using the zex file cd use zde to write the date 
into A:date file and zde is exited.  After which the variable ld 
is saved to sh.var file.  From here on out each time you press 
the ZDE macro key assigned  ZDE reads in A:date and you are on 
your way.  Oh yes the ZDE control macro is <Q>^Kra0:date^M^Qd

you need to set up these varables in your sh.var file using 
SHDEFINE.COM

These with RESOLVE.COM change the number of the month to a word.  
I think it is neet and use it all the time.
