TODAYIS is a little utility for making todays date accessable
to batch files. This is accomplished by creating a 0 byte file
on the disk (which is deleted) and then determining its date and
setting an environmental variable called TODAYIS in the MMDDYY
format.
This is useful if you need todays date for some operation such
as making a ZIP file everyday of your databases index files and
having the filename as the date it was backed up. This would be
done in the following manner:
PKZIP -a a:\%%TODAYIS%% C:\DATABASE\*.IX
If todays date was Sept. 22, 1992 this would make a ZIP file
containing all *.IX files in the C:\DATABASE directory by the
name of 092292.ZIP and place it on drive A:.
TODAYIS is suitable for ANY operation where you need todays date
accessable to a batch file.
TODAYIS is FREEWARE. It may be freely copied, placed on BBS's, etc.
as long as NO fee is charged for its distribution.
