Short: A simple but practical SetTime script
Author: petho@spike.fa.gau.hu (Szabolcs Petho)
Uploader: petho@spike.fa.gau.hu (Szabolcs Petho)
Type: util/time
Set the correct time with a simple CLI script. Why I wrote this anyway ?
Because I think it is simple but effective and mainly I haven't got a
clock inside my Amiga. You can save about $25 with a bit work. You have
to set the correct date only once a day, and the correct time at every
startup procedure.
And why is it worth ? Why you need a clock or this script ?
- it is a must if you are a programmer, where your source files have to be
maintained by a makefile
- you can use fine the Workbench View by Date option
- you can use other dir utils' date sort function
- you have more chance to find the new files after an unneeded installation
- you have more chance to find fileviruses
Note: extract the archie file with the -a (Preserve file attributes) option.
