Some commands with similar names have different authors and code, e.g. STRINGS or DATE.
DATE cmd in 0.8.8 is made by ub880d and has nothing to do with Trucco's one.
Its origin is here: http://oldcomp.cz/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=7798#p98622
The same with the CAL cmd: http://oldcomp.cz/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=7798#p98678
Many commands for zx-uno and specnext are hardware dependent and unusable on a normal Speccy.
That could be a reason for splitting this list into separate papers?
Dear SCjoe,
Yes, it´s a little bit confusing having DOT-commands with the same name but different behavior or for different hardware.
Because of lack of time and easyness I´ll keep all the commands on one page. Only mentioning special Requirements like hardware in the Comment Column of the list.
But I will add all commands that become known to me, so even this excellent looking .CAL (or is it called .DATE ?) you mentioned: (Have not further tested this one yet - this is just a "screenshot" from the Forum-Thread you linked).

It´s really a great Thread you´ve linked to. I like it!

Dear SCjoe,

could you please tell me on which OS this .CAL-command runs and how this Monthly-display is achieved? I can´t get it to work yet.

Should be no problem. On next update I will add colours for ZX Next and ZX Uno or add a column which holds this information.
