Copyright
=========
NameDate (Version 1.0) is distributed under the Shareware concept. You
are granted a limited license to use and share it under the following
conditions:
NameDatew is not distributed in a modified form.
No fee is charged for NameDate itself.
All references to the copyright and author are retained.
There is a small fee for this program. Please read the registration
section.
You may use NameDate for a trial period of, basically forever. I am not
demanding a fee for this simple program. However I do make a living at
writing software and if you find this utility useful, I don't think
$5.00 is a lot to ask. NameDate's code comes from a VB 4.0 application
that I am writing, and is just one of it's modules. The $5.00 goes toward
the cost of developing the VB application which is a log file analyzer
and archiver, as well as a database. This application would be used for
Servers, WEB Servers, and Bulletin Board Systems.

How to use NameDate
===================
NameDate is a simple command line DOS utility that renames any DOS
name with an eight character filename, and a three character extension
(i.e. allfiles.log), to a name keeping the first two characters (al),
adding the date (al042396), and keeping the existing extension
(al042396.log).
The files can then be archived and retrieved at a later date.
NameDate's use is very simple and the DOS version only has one option:
NDATE.EXE [filename.ext]
EXAMPLE OF USES: (BATCH FILE)
@echo off
C:
CD\LOGFILES
ndate mydata.log <-------Renames file my042396.log
pkzip -ex mydata.zip *.log (or my*.log)<-------Zips file to MYDATA.ZIP
del *.log (OPTIONAL) <-------Deletes log file
This is creates an archive that would look something like:
MY040196.LOG
MY040296.LOG
MY040396.LOG
MY040496.LOG
And so on.......
NameDate will archive any DOS filename (i.e.,EXE, JPG, LOG, INI, etc)
That's about it. If you have any questions you can e-mail me at:
