INITDATE v1.00 William G. Zentmayer March 4, 1990
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Purpose: To display system date / time without prompting for new values and
keep a log on system initialization times.
Syntax: INITDATE [/L] [/M]
/L ∙ Log file enabled (INITDATE.LOG in C:\ root directory)
Default is NO LOG.
/M ∙ Monochrome colors
Default is color.
This utility solves a problem that I have with the TIME and DATE commands
provided with PC/MS-DOS. I rely on the date-time stamp included in the
files on my system. Many of my applications provide date-time information
that is of importance to the application.
The DOS DATE and TIME functions prompt me for a new date and time value
after displaying the current settings. I wanted a way to see the current
system date and time without being prompted for a new value.
INITDATE will draw a box on your screen that reports on the initialization
date of your system. On my system I run INITDATE as the last command in
my AUTOEXEC.BAT file. This way, I see the system date and time before I
run any applications for the day. I can then modify these parameters
if I find them inaccurate.
INITDATE also writes the current date-time information to a logfile in your
C:\ root directory under the name INITDATE.LOG. This information may be
interesting to see how many times the system was rebooted each day, when
the system was rebooted... whatever.

INITDATE is contributed to the Public Domain and I do not request any
payment or compensation for such a simple program.
