      NAME
           fdate - return date and time in an ASCII string

      SYNOPSIS
           subroutine fdate (string)
           character*(*) string

           character*(*) function fdate()

      DESCRIPTION
           Fdate returns the current date and time as a 24 character
           string in the format described under ctime(3C).  Neither
           'newline' nor NULL will be included.

           Fdate can be called either as a function or as a subroutine.
           If called as a function, the calling routine must define its
           type and length. For example:

                character*24   fdate
                external       fdate

                write(*,*) fdate()
