Welcome to ONCEADAY. I originally wrote this program for my
own use because most of the other ' Daily Task' programs had
more to offer than I really needed. Don't get me wrong, The
fancy ones are nice. But I was just wanting something simple
and fast. ONCEADAY definitely is that. No fancy graphics, not
a lot of options. It just runs a specified task once per
date, then exits. It's best run in your autoexec.bat file.
That way it can do its job and be done. Next time you boot,
it will see that it's already ran its daily task and drop
back out to autoexec.bat. Waiting until the date changes.
It's not a tsr, so don't worry about that. And it's VERY easy
to use. Just put the following in your autoexec.bat file, or
run from the command line.
ONCEADAY - This will run your tasks.
ONCEADAY/R - This will Rerun an already ran task.
It'll read the task file and execute. The only thing you
have to do is put the ONCEADAY program file and your TASK.BAT
file IN YOUR ROOT DIRECTORY. The last time your task was run
is encrypted in the ONCEADAY.EXE file. It has to be in the root dir.
The TASK.BAT is the file ONCEADAY uses to run your tasks.
Here's the contents of my TASK.BAT.

IMAGE D:
Of course your file will be different, I use mine to run
Nortons IMAGE program. But you see what you need to do the
TASK.BAT file. Well, sorry I was so long winded, or is that
fingered? Anyway, Thanks for using ONCEADAY. If you find any
problems, or have any ideas for the program, call The D.A.W.
Software BBS at 615-479-8461 or The Rose & Crown BBS at 615-
892-0097 and leave me a message. Oh yeah, I've read this in
other doc files, so I guess I'll say it here, in my own way.
This program is not Shareware. IT'S FREEWARE. I don't want
anything for it. Just use it as you see fit. If anybody wants
the source code, just leave me mail on one of the above
mentioned BBS's. ONCEADAY was written using Quick-Basic 4.5,
and a little luck. Enjoy!
