*** INTRODUCTION ***
This useful program was created to solve a dilema that developed while
trying to back up my hard disk. For some strange reason some programs
that were downloaded from a bulletin board had a invalid date that
kept my hard disk archiver from backing up that set of files. And
since there were more than one file to change the date on, I needed a
easy way of fixing the problem, Thus FILE DATE UTILITY was created.
C&A DATE allows you to use any combination of wildcards to select
files, that can (optionally) be use in conjunction of a date.
For example:
If I wanted to change the date of all my wordprocessor files I would
use the following syntax:
CADATE *.DOC 6/15/89
This would change all the files having the extension DOC to the date
of 6/15/89.
*** NOW THE IMPORTANT STUFF ***
The details on how to use this program is the following:
* Typing CADATE with no parameters will cause a "help" message to
appear on the screen.
* The Syntax is:
CADATE [-l,-g] [filename] [sdate] [cdate]
Where -l means a date less than sdate (earlier than)
-g means a date greater than sdate (later than)
Not typing -l or -g with a sdate will cause the program to look
for a date equal to sdate
filename - is any valid DOS filename (wildcards are supported)
sdate - date to search file against
cdate - date to change file to
* Unfortunatly this program doesn't change the time of the program
(1.1 will however). I just didn't need the time to be changed to
fix my particular problem.
*** That's all there is to it! ***
