[Coco] TIME STAMP

[L. Curtis Boyle]

BASIC09 has some syntax compatibility with Pascal (as it is kind of a hybrid), so it accepts both := and = for assigning a variable. Like you, since I am a lazy typer, I prefer just ‘=‘, but others find it easier to read / follow code if they use ‘=‘ for comparing only, and := for assigning.
