Documentation for INC_DATE.PRG 1.10 by Domenico De Vitto 16/4/93
What it does.....
Right, got no clock but still want some sort of incremental system time ?
Well inc_date just increments the date at each bootup, so that
(for instance) when using make, modules don't seem to be made in the
future and not get compiled, I suppose that you could also use it to
know when files were changed (ish) (ie for backups/printing).
Files............
INC_DATE.PRG - the program.
INC_DATE.C - the C source should be plain C but was compiled with HSC 1.40
INC_DATE.DOC - this file.
\INC_DATE.INF (not in distribution) - Created by INC_DATE.PRG to know what
the last date was.
Installation.....
Put it in your auto folder and forget about it, it doesn't stay resident
so doesn't take up any memory, it just changes the date.
Disclaimer.......
I have tested this program with my setup (TOS 1.2 1040STFM + HD) and it
works fine, but I accept no responsibility for anything it may do or
damage (etc etc) and you use it at your own risk.
Code.............
Feel free to use it in your own progs as your own - it's tiny !
Any hints as to improvements/changes/bugs to:
ddv@uk.ac.bton.unix
(or is that ddv@unix.bton.ac.uk over the internet ?)
