Usage: NEW [/[-]Number_of_days] [File_spec]
NEW.EXE displays a sorted directory based on a file's age. NEW will
display files before or after a certain date which you specify as an offset
from the current date and time. The default is to display only those files
created or updated today. A "day" for NEW is defined as a 24 hour period
starting at 6 AM and ending at 5:59 AM the following day. For example, let's
say you are up burning the midnight oil at 2 AM on 6-Oct-85 getting the last
bug out of a piece of software. If you type 'NEW', you will get a directory of
all files created or updated since 6 AM, 5-Oct-85 (this unorthodox way of
defining a "day" is meant to conform to the realities of people with personal
computers who work into the wee hours). If you type 'NEW/2', you will get a
directory of files created or updated since 6 AM, 4-Oct-85 (ie. the last 2 NEW
"days"). If you type 'NEW/-2', you will get a directory of all files created
or updated before 6 AM, 4-Oct-85...etc,etc. NEW.EXE contains full path &
wildcard support.
