TIME(R) -- Multi-Purpose Time & Timer Facility Page 1
Copyright (c) 1986 by Ryan Katri

Description.
TIME(R) is a program that is mainly for use in batch files. It
provides three functions: Pause, Wait Until, and Loop. Using
these three, you can pause your batch file for any number of
seconds, wait to continue execution until a certain time of day,
or loop for a specified number of seconds to see if an operator
is standing by to press a key before continuing.
TIME(R) can drop an errorlevel to your batch file when using the
Loop or Wait Until options. Thus, your batch file can decide
what operation to perform depending on the errorlevel it receives
from TIME(R).
Usage.
TIME(R) is invoked by the command
TIMER {options} [time] ...
Three of the options require a time (either in seconds or a time
of day) to be given.
The following options are:
Option Time Abbrev Function

PAUSE Seconds P Pause for specified number of
seconds.
WAIT Time of W Wait Until a certain time to
Day continue.
Descriptions.
CONFIG -- The configuration is not necessary, but allows
customization for your specific needs. Most of
the questions are self-explanatory.
