  1.                                PALERT 2.4
  2.  
  3. New to this release!
  4.  
  5.         -- You may now let batch files know what day it is, so that you
  6.         may take action according to the day.
  7.  
  8.                 Example:  On Tuesday and Friday, I want to back up my
  9.                 hard disk.
  10.  
  11.                        My batch file looks like this:
  12.  
  13.                                 PALERT /D
  14.                                 if errorlevel == 5 goto backup
  15.                                 if errorlevel == 2 goto backup
  16.                                 goto end
  17.  
  18.                                 :backup
  19.                                 cd \back
  20.                                 backup
  21.                                 goto end
  22.  
  23.                                :end
  24.  
  25.         -- PALERT now verifies that the system date is correct.  If not,
  26.         PALERT will prompt you to set it correctly.  Great for your
  27.         AUTOEXEC.BAT files!
