This program was designed to delay your computer ,or make it wait until
a certain time .
If you are running multinode bbs and you need the computer to wait until
one event is done in one window before the other window can continue then
this program is perfect for you .
It works great for packing the mail on on node while the other is waiting .
this way you won't trash your messages .
It also works for call forwarding of one line to another , if you need the
computer to wait 10 seconds before continuing with a Bat file you could
just put "DELAY 10" in your Bat file the system would wait 10 seconds
before it would continue .
When you use the "DELAY X" function of the program it could be any value
as long as it will not overrun into the next day . If it does run into
the next day it will end at midnight example : if you execute
DELAY 60 at 23:59:30 it would stop at 00:00:00 only 30 seconds not 60 .
this is due to the internal clock I use to get the seconds remaining.
This program will also wait until a certain time of day if you like.
IE: DELAY 08:00:00 it would wait until 8 Am before continuing.
DELAY 22:30:00 would wait until 10:30 P.M. and so on .
You must use the xx:xx:xx format for this function
If you type DELAY by itself it will give you a list of commands
you may type DELAY /I for information and help .
