The Program
I'm not one for writing documentation, so I'll make this brief. CHDATE is
a program that changes a file's Time & Date stamp. You can see the file's
Time & Date when you type DIR at the command line. CHDATE was written with
OPTIMIZATION in mind. I tried to keep the code size and the memory
requirements as small as possible. The executable takes less than 9k of
hard-drive space and it should run in 10k of memory.
CHDATE operates from the DOS command line. The basic format is:
CHDATE <target> [options]
where <target> is the full name of the file whose date and time will be
changed. Wildcards are not allowed! You don't need to specify any options,
the only requirement is a FULL FILENAME.
If you don't specify any options, CHDATE changes the <target> file to the
current date and time. If you wish to change the <target> to something
other than the current date and time you must use either the -D or the -T
options, or both. Valid options are:
-? (with no target) Displays a short help screen
-Q Quiet Mode--no screen output
-D= Used in the format -D=mm/dd/yy where mm/dd/yy is the date
the <target> file is set to.
-T= Used in the format -T=hh:mm:ss where hh:mm:ss is the time
the <target> file is set to. Use military (24 hour) time.
The AM/PM format will not work.
Example:
CHDATE myfile.exe -D=04/19/93 -T=22:00:00
The above command changes the date of myfile.exe to 4-19-93 and the time
to 22:00hrs (10:00pm).
Though this program is yours for free, I will gladly accept any amount of
money as a gift. Sourcecode is also available for a fee of $10. All
