Short: A simple datechecker that checks you're date V2.12 Author: Gerbert Nuijen Uploader: penthe xs4all nl (Leo Elsinga) Type: util/cli Architecture: m68k-amigaos Datecheck v2.12 - by Gerbert Nuijen © A little program to check you're systemclock. It will make a backup of you're current date en time wich will be stored in the "S:dc.sav" file. It's just 4 bytes, so don't worry about any space lost. It has some usefull options like executing a file when the program encounters a bad date. Syntax : Datecheck [-x [Filename]] [-dxxx] Where : -x, means you want to execute an executable when a bad date occurs. This is "Sys:Prefs/Time" by default, wich is a part of you're workbench 3.0+. (Don't know about 2.x) If you specify a filename after "-x", the filename will be executed if exists, or else the default will be executed. The filename must not begin with a "-", or it will be seen as a option. -dxxx, xxx is the number of days that the difference may be, before there is on bad date. xxx must be between 0 - 1000 days. Remember if you specify 1 day and you don't startup you're computer for 24h it will automatically say there is a bad date, while it is still ok. Default is 7 days. Installation Just copy it to you're C: dir. And edit you're startup with you're favourite texteditor (I really recommened Blacks Editor from Marco Negri) and add something like Datecheck -x if you have OS3.x or else Datecheck -x timeset, where timeset is you're favourite timesetting program.

Btw any money is also appreciated ;) Disclamer I'm not responsible for any data-loss or whatever occurs when you're using datecheck. Although I'm pretty sure nothing can go wrong. Unless you do something stupid with the -x option. Like "-x formatall" or something like that ;) Contact me at: E-mail: nuijen@grafix.xs4all.nl G.Nuijen Pres.j.v.Wierdsmastr 25 3151 EA Hoek van Holland The Netherlands
