Bruno,
If Scala can send commands to AmigaDOS thru ARexx, here's an idea:
address command "date > RAM:env/datetime"
This places a string similar to "Monday 28-Feb-94 22:17:41" in a ramdisk file,
but this is where environment variables are stored, so you could then use the
"getenv" function to retrieve the output from the original date command.
Parsing using spaces as separators will let you isolate the day, date, and
time.
Blaq!
