    Hi!
    i would do the following:
    Code:
    #include <ctime>
    using namespace std;
    char cur_date[9];
    char cur_time[9];
    _strdate(cur_date);
    _strtime(cur_time);
    cout << "Time: "<<cur_time<<endl <<"Date: "<<cur_date;

    Then you would be using non-standard functions. If you want to suggest these, fine, but at least point out in your post that they are non-standard, and that they may not work on all compilers.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
