Whenever I booted my Sparta DOS 3.2g disk was entering the current date and time manually. It was usually quick, but sometimes I didn't have the time handy. However, my Atari's (130XE and 576NUC+) both have FujiNet. When I saw on the FujiNet Wiki that you can get the current date and time from the internet (https://tinyurl.com/2r5vae5v) I decided that I had a new assembler project...

I am still (gradually) working my way through Atari Roots (https://tinyurl.com/4ea7vac8), so I have a lot to learn. I also needed to find out more about how Sparta Dos handled date and time. This led me to the Sparta DOS Construction Set, especially the R-Time 8 supplement - both found on the Serious Computerist website (https://tinyurl.com/3efmbwt8). It took a little while to figure it out, but it was a great chance to try out my MAC/65 & DDT cartridge image (via my A8picoCart). Among the things I learned:

1) DDT does not like to work on Page 6

2) You can hang MAC/65 by picking an assembly address too close to MEMLO

3) Indirect indexed addressing is very useful, and not covered in The Atari Assembler (by Don Inman & Kurt Inman). Luckily, it is in Atari Roots (though briefly).

In the end, I replaced my Date and Time calls in the STARTUP.BAT file with a FUJITD.COM file built from the following code:

It works on both of my machines, but I'd love to hear any suggestions for improvement to make the code more robust, compact, or both. I've attached the files in *.ATR format for others to play or use. Regardless, thanks for taking the time to look this over.
