What exactly are you wanting to do concerning the usage of the date? If you just want to output the date, you can use the "time" and "ctime" functions (oddly enough from the "ctime" library file) as evidenced in the following code:

[code=cpp]
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <ctime>

using namespace std;

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
string time_string;

time_t timeInfo;
timeInfo = time(NULL);
time_string = ctime(&timeInfo );

cout<<"The current time is: "<<time_string< <endl;

return 0;
}
[/code]

Note that the value returned from "ctime" contains a newline character and is null terminated.
