Short: A simple datechecker that checks you're date V2.12
Author: Gerbert Nuijen
Uploader: penthe@xs4all.nl (Leo Elsinga)
Type: util/cli
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.

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 ;)
