Version 1.00
SYNTAX: DAYCHECK ?
DAYCHECK {DAY,HOUR,MINUTE,DATE,MONTH,YEAR}
DayCheck is a batch-oriented program that can tell the day of the week,
the hour, the minute, the date, the month, or the year. It loads its value
in the batch ERRORLEVEL indicator. Thus, any batch files that use DayCheck
must examine the ERRORLEVEL code immediately afterward. Check your MS-DOS
manual if you are unfamiliar with this.
DayCheck sets the batch ERRORLEVEL to the following values upon exit:
0 - 6: Day (0 = Sunday) │ 1 - 31: Date
0 - 23: Hour │ 1 - 12: Month
0 - 59: Minute │ 80 - 99: Year
75: Too many, too few,
or invalid parameters specified.

"An exercise in utility"
DayCheck was written in Turbo Pascal v4.0 for IBM PCs & OS/2s and compatibles.
DayCheck was developed after a discussion with the sysop of my "hang-out"
BBS. His bulletins include a "top uploader/downloader" list which, I'm proud
to say, I dominate. Yet it never seems to be up-to-date. I thought the sysop
was running TU/D stats whenever he got around to it, so I offered to develop
this program for him. (Now he can automatically run the stats every Friday.)
DayCheck v1.00: 24 Nov 87
See above text for a description of why this program was developed.
TO EVERYONE USING DAYCHECK
This is a public-domain program, so you may use it at no cost. I ask only
that you thank me if you like it. Programmers need to feel important, too! A
postcard or message is all it takes to keep me happy.
Please tell me about any improvements you feel would make the next release
even better. I'm open to suggestions! I give credit to the first contributor
of each suggestion I use in the program. (Please tell me if you don't want
your name used.) Send a letter or postcard, or a CompuServe EasyPlex message,
or leave messages for me on The Wizard's Lair BBS, (618) 398-5703. (Registra-
tion is free on Wizard's Lair, but you must register if you want to leave me a
message. Use your real name -- the sysop won't allow "handles.")
Send a self-addressed stamped envelope or postcard if you'd like to know
when the next version of DayCheck is released.
HAVE YOU TRIED OTHER PROGRAMS BY ROB J. ROSENBERGER?
MAKE-MMG: Creates (or appends to) a WordStar "MailMerge" file so you can
print any number of files without having to type in the name of each file and
wait for it to finish printing. Public domain! Available on BBSs around the
country and in the CompuServe IBMSW forum.
MSG-UTIL: Formats (and de-formats) messages off-line for rapid uploading
to BBSs as ASCII text. It's a real moneysaver when leaving messages on long-
distance BBSs, or pay-as-you-go services such as CompuServe. Works with ASCII
and WordStar files. Public domain! Available on BBSs around the country and
in the CompuServe IBMCOM forum.
SETPRNTR: Menu-driven utility for IBM/Epson/compatible printers. Choose
fonts, printing enhancements, etc. You can even initialize the printer if you
want to kill what's being printed. Accepts requests from the MS-DOS command
line if you want to skip the menus. Public domain! Available on some BBSs.
WORDWRAP: Turbo Pascal v4.0 source code shows how to "wrap" words if they
won't fit on the current line. Perfect for programmers writing BBS game soft-
ware that allows players to chat with the sysop. A compiled demo is included.
Public domain! Available on some BBSs and in the CompuServe BPROGA forum.
