TOUCH, written by Kai Iske July 27. 1993
This is PUBLIC DOMAIN; you may do with it whatever you like
If you change/republish/delete/sell the program or do anything similar, please
be so kind to keep my name within the program and all the other files.
I wrote Touch because I needed a Touch Command from within an ARexx-Script, but
the ARexx-Script couldn`t reach the CSH`s internal touch.
TOUCH was written using SAS 6.3....
!!! Touch requires OS 2.x and up to run !!!
-------------------
What does TOUCH ???
-------------------
Well, it touches every file matching a given pattern like "#?.c" or any
particular file like ":CPrgs/Utils/Dummy.c". If a particualar file, i.e. a
filename not containing wildcards, doesn`t exist it will be created, just the
way the UNIX touch command does it. You may give any number of
filenames/patterns on the commandline and Touch will touch `em, i.e. setting
the filedate to the current date.
Example :
Touch #?.c Dummy.doc Zaphod.o "Hello World.c"
You see you can give any number of filenames/patterns on the commandline,
but be sure to enclose filenames, which contain spaces, within quotes.
------------------------
How to install TOUCH ???
------------------------
Simply copy it to a directory within you search path (eg. C:)

Version 1.0

- initial release
Hope you like it, if not, delete it......
So long,
Kai
