This program will allow you to "pop" a message on your screen on a
given date. This is a great way to remind yourself about something
that you have to do (like backup your hard drive). It can also be
used to make a message appear telling your customers that their
annual service contract is due or they are in need of a preventive
maintenance on there equipment.
Monitor creates a small file that resides in the root directory on
your boot drive. You can also put the file in the root directory of
any other valid drive. If you do put the file somewhere else you
MUST tell Monitor where to look for it (EXAMPLE - If you put the
file on your drive D:, then in your autoexec.bat you would add the
line Monitor D:). Everytime you boot up Monitor will check your
system date. If the date is equal to, or greater than, the date you
specified then Monitor will print your message on the screen. It's
that simple and there are no RAM resident programs to fool with!
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS SUPPORTED:
/? - This help screen (ignored if not the first option)
/D - Deletes the Monitor.Dat file (EXAMPLE - Monitor c: /d)
A: - Any valid DOS drive letter from A-Z (EXAMPLE - Monitor c:)
NOTE: When using the /D option you MUST put the drive letter first.
