Acquiring the package:

Download the archive file(s) and extract using SparkPlug 2
(see the "tools_help" file in micros/arch/riscos/tools for further info).


Description:

The package contains two programs:

currDir: puts the pathname of the current directory into a variable,
  optionally allowing you to truncate it to a given length.  The truncation
  is done sensibly (you keep the filing system and device names, but lose
  the beginning of the directory path).  Only works under RISC OS 3 or later.

setDate: writes the current date and time to an AOF file, so you can have
  the date of compilation embedded in your programs easily.  The format
  is totally variable; you can even create module help strings with it.
  You can have any number of date strings in the AOF file, each given a
  different identifier.
