PROGRAM: WAITUNTL.COM
GENERAL FUNCTION: To wait until a particular time arrives.
WHY IS IT NEEDED? There is no easy way in DOS to trigger events
in batch files based on time of day.
INSTALLATION: None
FORMAT: WAITUNTL HH:MM:SS
EXAMPLES: WAITUNTL 23:59:58
HOW TO USE IT: This can be used in batch files to simply wait until
a certain time passes. The program continually displays the current
time, which makes it easy to compare to the time set in WAITUNTL.
WAITUNTL makes it easy to trigger a series of events based on time,
such as downloading data at 6am and running a series of reports at
6:15 to have ready when you get in.
OTHER EFFECTS: None
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Works with DOS 1.1, 2.x, and 3.0.
COMMENTS: None
