About WAIT.EXE . . .
Wait was developed by Mike Yeager over the course of a boring week at BSS.
It's main purpose was to delay the start of a tape backup program until a
few late night workers finally gave up and went home. I'm sure there are
a few more uses for it.
To run wait, type wait <n> at the command prompt where n=number of minutes
to wait. For example:
C:\>wait 5 Will wait 5 minutes.
Wait is most useful in batch files, however. My tape backup batch file
goes like this:
wait 360
tbackup f:\*.*
This causes the computer to wait for 6 hours before backing up the file
server.
You may change the wait time while the program is running with the "+", "-",
">", and "<" keys.
We would like you to use this program wherever you find it useful. It is
not free, however. If you like the program, please send $9 to:
