I just got a copy of "The Waite Group's Microsoft C Bible" by Barkakati
(great book!), and have been going through it learning all kinds of 
things that I was too lazy to wring out of MS's manual.  On page 33 is
a list of pre-defined public variables.  Included on the list are _date_,
_time_, and _timestamp_.  These all allegedly contain information about
the compile time of the program.  Well, neato -- if I could get them to 
work.  All attempts I have made to access these have failed, with the
linker complaining that they are unresolved externals.  Can someone
show me an example that successfully uses these?
