- *** INTRODUCTION ***
-
- This useful program was created to solve a dilema that developed while
- trying to back up my hard disk. For some strange reason some programs
- that were downloaded from a bulletin board had a invalid date that
- kept my hard disk archiver from backing up that set of files. And
- since there were more than one file to change the date on, I needed a
- easy way of fixing the problem, Thus FILE DATE UTILITY was created.
-
- C&A DATE allows you to use any combination of wildcards to select
- files, that can (optionally) be use in conjunction of a date.
-
- For example:
-
- If I wanted to change the date of all my wordprocessor files I would
- use the following syntax:
-
- CADATE *.DOC 6/15/89
-
- This would change all the files having the extension DOC to the date
- of 6/15/89.
-
- *** NOW THE IMPORTANT STUFF ***
-
- The details on how to use this program is the following:
-
- * Typing CADATE with no parameters will cause a "help" message to
- appear on the screen.
-
- * The Syntax is:
- CADATE [-l,-g] [filename] [sdate] [cdate]
-
- Where -l means a date less than sdate (earlier than)
- -g means a date greater than sdate (later than)
-
- Not typing -l or -g with a sdate will cause the program to look
- for a date equal to sdate
-
- filename - is any valid DOS filename (wildcards are supported)
-
- sdate - date to search file against
-
- cdate - date to change file to
-
- * Unfortunatly this program doesn't change the time of the program
- (1.1 will however). I just didn't need the time to be changed to
- fix my particular problem.
-
-
- *** That's all there is to it! ***
