I used to use this back in the actual day and using it again today on my win95 box. It needs ansi.sys (or newer 3rd party ansi.com) loaded.

Nice!

On Win10, it just works. Guess the ANSI features are built into the NT command prompt. 😀

Lol! Didn't even think of trying it on my win10. I should have made this shareware ;P

Fixed it!

Should be "Win Command Prompt" or "Win10 Command Prompt" as CMD.EXE from NT-based Windows versions has nothing to do with MS-DOS despite the console having superficially similar functionality. The 64-bit versions of Windows can't even run 16-bit applications at all by default.

Regardless, this is very nice with the current date being displayed! 😁

It can be changed to fit anyone's needs as I've decided to declare this opensource 😉
