/*  $DOC$
 *  $FUNCNAME$
 *     FT_SETDATE()
 *  $CATEGORY$
 *     DOS/BIOS
 *  $ONELINER$
 *     Set the DOS system date
 *  $SYNTAX$
 *     FT_SETDATE( <dDate> ) -> <lResult>
 *  $ARGUMENTS$
 *     <dDate> is a Clipper date variable that you want to set the current
 *     DOS system date to.
 *
 *     It is up to you to send in a valid date.  The
 *     year must be within the range 1980 through 2099.  If DOS
 *     thinks the date is not valid, it won't change the date.
 *
 *  $RETURNS$
 *     <lResult> is simply the result of FT_INT86(), passed back
 *     to your program.
 *
 *  $DESCRIPTION$
 *     FT_SETDATE() uses NANFOR.LIB's FT_INT86() function to invoke
 *     the DOS Set Date service (Interrupt 33, service 43).
 *
 *  $EXAMPLES$
 *
 *  The following program takes a date from the command line and sets
 *  the DOS system date:
 *
 *   FUNCTION main( cDate )
 *
 *      cDate := iif( cDate == nil, dtoc( date() ), cDate )
 *      QOut( "Setting date to: " + cDate  + "... " )
 *      FT_SETDATE( ctod( cDate ) )
 *      Qout( "Today is now: " + dtoc( date() ) )
 *
 *   RETURN NIL
 *
 *  $END$
