- (For file FBPCHECK.EXE)
- 1> Version 1.2 Jan 24, 1990. Fixed the end of year problem from Version 1.0.
- 2> Added Leap Year Support, now good till the year 2000. this program reads
- 3> the *.his files in your c:\fastback directory. It counts the number of
- 4> files, sorts them and finds the date of the last backup. Then it
- 5> calculates the number of days since the last backup against a base year of
- 6> Jan 01, 1989. Leap year compensation and the number of days in each month
- 7> are taken into concideration. If the number of days is greater of equal
- 8> to 7, the program pauses with a message. If the number of days is less
- 9> than 7 the program goes back to DOS without operator intervention. I run
- 10> this utility in my AUTOEXEC.BAT. When I run fastback I erase the old .HIS
- 11> files as to not hog room on the hard disk. This program was originally
- 12> developed to force a machine operator to run fastback on a PC controlled
- 13> heat treating line. I modified that version to make a friendly reminder
- 14> instead of forcing you to run fastback. The program is written in Lattice
- 15> C Ver 6.0. Please leave a message if you want the source code. Glenn
