I'm currently using DOS, but a DOS box under Win95/98 or "better" would be 
nice.

Here is the _entire_ doc;

CMDTIME [1.00/Mar 13 1989]  Copyright 1989 by Scott Dudley (1:148/314)

Command-line syntax error:

CMDTIME is a program which translates dollar-sign options on the command-
line to values based on the current time/date, and then execute the given
command.  The following options will be translated according to
the current date:

  $a - The abbreviated weekday name
  $A - The full weekday name
  $b - The abbreviated month name
  $B - The full month name
  $c - Standard date and time string (mm-dd-yy hh:mm:ss)
  $d - Day-of-month as an integer (01-31)
  $H - Hour, in the range of 00-23
  $I - Hour, in the range of 01-12
  $j - Day-of-year as an integer (001-366)
  $m - Month as an integer (01-12)
  $M - Minute as an integer (00-59)
  $p - Local AM or PM as a string
  $S - Second as an integer (00-59)
  $U - Week-of-year, Sunday being the first day (00-52)
  $w - Weekday as an integer (0-6), Sunday being 0
  $W - Week-of-year, Monday being the first day (00-52)
  $x - Standard date string (mm-dd-yy)
  $X - Standard time string (hh:mm:ss)
  $y - Year as an integer w/o century (00-99)
  $Y - Year, including century as an integer
  $Z - Time zone (Must have TZ environment variable defined)
  $$ - The dollar sign

Please notice that all options are case-sensitive, and if you wish to enter a
dollar sign in the command-line, you must specify it twice or else it
will be interpreted as one of CMDTIME's internal options.

Main enhancement I'd like is the ability to use Win95/98 LFNs, i.e., quite 
long concatenations of the above tokens.  Current version is limited to 
8.3 file names, I think.

     Thanks,

              Robert.
