There is also a word in 4tH that will tell you what time and what date it is. With a little trouble ;). The word is called 'TIME' and it will tell you how many seconds have gone since January 1st, 1970.

Of course, this is a very low level word, but with a few calculations you can quickly make it of use. Like a timer that measures how long certain operation takes, like the execution of a colon-definition ("DO- SOME-WORD" in this case):

     time do-some-word time
     swap -
     ." Do-Some-Word took " . ." seconds." cr

You can also find out quickly how late it is:

     86400 constant s/day

     : sextal 6 base ! ;
     : :00 # sextal # decimal [char] : hold ;
     : time# <# :00 :00 #S #> type cr ;

     time s/day mod time# cr

Note that it doesn't know about daylight-saving! The day of the week is another thing you can easily calculate:

     7 constant days/week
     86400 constant s/day

     16 string day

     create weekdays
     " Thursday" ,
     " Friday" ,
     " Saturday" ,
     " Sunday" ,
     " Monday" ,
     " Tuesday" ,
     " Wednesday" ,

     weekdays
     time s/day / days/week mod
     th @' day copy
     count type cr

We haven't found a nice, small algorhythm to get you the full date. But if we do, you will find it here.
