ISO 8601 date functions

[K_Meinhard]

Thanks to Luchezar Georgiev 4DOS has now internal variables and
functions for ISO 8601, which should make things easier for European
users:

%_ISODOWI (Monday=1 , Tuesday=2 ...)
%_ISOWDATE (Current ISO 8601 week date (yyyy-Www-d)
%_ISOWEEK (Week of the year pursuant to ISO 8601)

@ISODOWI[date] Numeric day of the week (Mon = 1, etc.)
@ISOWEEK[date] Week of the year pursuant to ISO 8601

@MAKEDATE, @AGEDATE have a new optional second argument (5):
5 - ISO 8601 international format (yyyy-Www-d) week date

@MAKEAGE now understands the new formats.

Note that for 4NT / TCC users this functionality is a small part of the
FEDUTIL plugin by Federico C. Romano (who got the relevant ISO wrong:
its 8601, not 9601).

Mit freundlichem Gruß,

Hi Klaus..
Scripting in 4dos is a lot harder than 4NT/TC
Less code is required to do the same job I don't really understand why one would
still use it.

Hi Rex,

Well, I have an idea.
How well does 4NT run on DOS?

Its free. Does TCC/LE support plugins?

I just see that the TCC help displays the same error for _ISODATE.
