"Gimme The Netmail Day"
Compliments of: The HOTware BBS

┌─────────────┐
│ * WARNING * │
┌──────────────────────────┴─────────────┴───────────────────────────┐
│ If you used previous version of NETDAY to modify an Environment │
│ variable with the current netmail day, please see the discussion │
│ of the /SE parameter below. The method of which NETDAY sets the │
│ environment variable has changed, an additional batch file is no │
│ longer needed, the master environment is now modified directly. │

History
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
07-19-92 Ver 1.0 Initial Release
08-01-92 Ver 1.1 Added ability to specify a date on the
command line. NETDAY will display the
netmail day for the date you select.
The default is today's date.
08-15-92 Ver 1.2 An accidental release. This version
accidentily got the version 1.1 EXE
into the archive. The changes that
were supposed to be in version 1.2 are
actually in version 1.3
08-17-92 Ver 1.3 Added ability to run the program in
"interactive mode". NETDAY will display
an interactive menu via a /I on the
command line that allows you to specify
the date you would like to list the
NETMAIL date for. This request was per
Steven Wright of 064/200.
10-07-92 Ver 1.4 Added ability to set an environment
variable NMAIL$ with the current Netmail
Julian Date. In order to do this however
NETDAY *MUST* be run in a batch file named
SETNETDY.BAT which *MUST* reside in your
GTPATH directory. In order to activate
this feature place a /SE (set environment)
on the NETDAY command line. (The SETNETDY.BAT
file will be created for you) Now anytime that
you wish to update the NMAIL$ environment
variable just run SETNETDY. NETDAY will update
the batch file accordingly and set the variable
via the batch file. DO NOT put anything else
in this batch file, NETDAY erases this file
and builds a new one each time the /SE option
is used. Keep in mind that the /SE option is
completely useless unless NETDAY is run from
the SETNETDY.BAT file.
10-18-92 Ver 1.5 Corrected a problem with the /REGISTER option.
NETDAY was putting invalid DATE and TIME
information into the Netmail Message Header
that was being sent.
11-07-92 Ver 1.6 NETDAY will now accept an echomail conference
number from the command line and report on
the number of days old that particular echo
is. The Syntax is NETDAY Exx/xxx.
11-15-92 Ver 1.7 NETDAY now puts the Day Of The Week as part of
the report that goes to the screen. Requested
by Mr. Red Gambrell.
11-17-92 Ver 1.8 Bug Fix release. Version 1.7 was having a
problem reading dates from the year 2000 and
above from the command line and from the /I
interactive mode. Fixed.
5-29-93 Ver 1.9 Version 1.9 Allows you to specify the name
of the Environment Variable that you are
setting. See /SE: described below.
6-13-93 Ver 2.0 Version 2.0 will trap an invalid date that
has been caused by CMOS Setup loss. If the
date 1-1-80 is found the program will inform
you to that fact and WILL NOT reset a Julian
Date environment variable.
9-04-93 Ver 2.1 Version 2.1 no longer requires you to run a
batch file to set an environment variable.
NETDAY will now find the master environment
and set the appropriate value for you without
the use of the SETNETDY.BAT file. See /SE:
for further information.
9-06-93 Ver 2.2 Version 2.2 corrects a problem with version
reporting when using /REGISTER.
10-13-93 Ver 2.21 Version 2.21 further improves the /REGISTER
function.

What is It?
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
What in the heck is NETDAY? NETDAY is a little utility that
will display the current Netmail (Julian) Date, or any date
you choose to put on the command line. That's all it does,
but it does it quickly and easily.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Why Is It?
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
You may be asking about now, Why would you want to do this?
It's simple. Did you ever wonder what the current Netmail
Day was in reference to how old one of your echos was? Now
you can do it......
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Execution..
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Running the program is very easy. Place NETDAY anywere in
the DOS Path, and then you can type NETDAY at any time to get
the current Netmail Date. If you prefer to get the Netmail
day of a future date or previous date, put the date on the
command line. For example....
NETDAY 10-08-90
produces:
╔══════════════════════════════╗
║ Calender Date ║
║ Thursday 10-08-1992 ║
║ ║
║ Netmail Day ║
║ 2107 ║
╚Vx.x══════════════════HOTware═╝
If you prefer to have an interactive program try this.....
NETDAY /I
this adds a new twist to the program.....
If you would like to know how many days old a particular echo
that you are carrying is you can put the echo conference number
on the NETDAY command line. As an example...
NETDAY E02/507
will report to you the age of E02/507 on your system.
NETDAY also has the ability to set/modify an environment variable,
the default is NMAIL$, with the current GT Julian date. NETDAY
will modify the master environment and add or update the existing
varialbe for you. In order to use this feature use the /SE (set
environment) command line parameter as follows.
NETDAY /SE
If you would like to use a variable rather than NMAIL$ you may
specify it after the /SE command, seperated by a ':'. Here is an
example: To set an Environment Variable JDAY you would use:
NETDAY /SE:JDAY
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Registration
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
I am not requesting any money for this program, but I would
appreciate knowing that you are running the program on a normal
basis. Therefore I have provided a simple and easy way for
you to register this program. From the dos prompt type:
NETDAY REGISTER
NETDAY will the proceed to send me a netmail message informing me
that you are using the program. Please use this feature ONCE.

(see above procedures. If you don't have any use for it, delete
it for your total refund of all the disk space that it was
occupying. This program comes with no warranty, no guarantee,

will gladly take a look at it in my spare time. If you really
really really like the program and want to make any donations,
feel free, but it is not a requirement.....
