Batch Files that Count
----------------------
Use this counting routine in batch files to perform routine tasks,
such as backups, that you want to execute at regular intervals.
Used in your AUTOEXEC.BAT filfe, you can automatically run the
CHKDSK/F command every third time you reboot.
COUNT.BAT creates a zero-byte file and uses its name as the
counter. When you execute COUNT.BAT, it looks for a file named
BOOT? and branches to a label in the batch file.
