     The IBM personal computer keeps the date and time in the
     operating system. They are automatically inserted when you
     specify DATE. You can, however, enter the date yourself as the
     parameter. With NODATE, the paragraph is left unaltered.
 
     With DATE, the system date or the string you enter appears at the
     top of each page of the listing. With NODATE, spaces are used
     instead.
