Using System's Date

Post by Merk »

Is there a good (and cross-platform) way to check and parse the system date? If nobody knows, I'll look a little harder at the manual. :)

What I'm after is a way to know whether it's before or after a certain real calendar date -- for instance, whether it's before or after October 15th 2006 -- so that my work-in-progress can display a different screen accordingly.

Anybody know? Surely it's possible, and hopefully it's simple. :)
