GL> This is a bit off topic here in OS/2 Programming, hehe, how? aren't we talking about programming in OS/2? <> GL> but I use a util called setdate which allows you to make GL> environ vars of practically anything to do with the date, GL> such as day of week, day of month, month, year etc., so GL> it becomes a simple line like if %DAY% == 01 or if %DOW% GL> == Mon or if %MON% == Jan, etc. yes, i've stuff like that already... the problem is when that point in time has passed when the system gets around to checking things again... this item i speak of above will execute things after their time has passed to make sure that they do at least get executed... its something that i've been wanting to get in place for a while... now that its working, i guess its time to implement it in the bbs' maint schedule... actually, it might even take over the bbs' maint schedule OB-) )\/(ark * Origin: (1:3634/12) .
