DATEIT is a versatile date/time stamping utility. You can select and
configure the format for the date/time displays! In addition any of the modes
selected can be displayed in the "Refresh" mode on the screen! Options include
centering, tabbing, AM/PM or 24 hour displays and swapping of date and time in
the order of printing. The following is a list of command line options allowed
by "DATEIT":

The Laser~Coast~Line BBS * Santa Monica CA * (310) 394-1214
/F:[drive/path/filename] - Append To Existing File
(If Not Assigned....Creates New File Called DTIME.DTA)

/IN - Important Program Information
Most of the command line options are self-explainitory. The following is more
specific information for the use of "DATEIT".
DATEIT may be placed in your /DOS directory....so that it may be used as a DOS
command if desired.
WRITING TIME AND DATE TO FILES
------------------------------
Once the specific display has been selected and formated it will be written to
a file called DATEIT.DAT if the /F: option is not used. Please note this file
is overwritten every time the program is called. Using the /F: option you may
append the date/time info to an existing file without erasing its contents.
DATEIT /L /CT /F:C:\DSZ\DSZ.LOG
The above example will use the "L"ong time/date format centered and append the
info to the file "DSZ.LOG" please note that if the file does not exist it will
be created. Using the "/SPnn" option you can specifically place the time/date
string on the line. The program will print "nn" spaces before the string.
OTHER COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
--------------------------
The /ND and /NT options remove the date and time repectively, from the display
and /24 will display the time in military format. "/SW" will reverse the date
and time positions in the output string and /CT will center the output!
The /RF or "refresh" option will output the time/date string to the screen and
remain there as a "updating" clock display until a key is pressed. No really a
valuable option, but it is 'cute'!
NOTES:
-----
As this is a "beta" version, I would be very much interested, in your comments
or suggestions for more options! I most likely will add a /CM to tag a string
onto the time/date stamp for writing events to logs and also will add a switch
to have the /RF option write the string to disk when a key is pressed.
