I'm currently using DOS, but a DOS box under Win95/98 or "better" would be
nice.

Command-line syntax error:
CMDTIME is a program which translates dollar-sign options on the command-
line to values based on the current time/date, and then execute the given
command. The following options will be translated according to
the current date:
$a - The abbreviated weekday name
$A - The full weekday name
$b - The abbreviated month name
$B - The full month name
$c - Standard date and time string (mm-dd-yy hh:mm:ss)
$d - Day-of-month as an integer (01-31)
$H - Hour, in the range of 00-23
$I - Hour, in the range of 01-12
$j - Day-of-year as an integer (001-366)
$m - Month as an integer (01-12)
$M - Minute as an integer (00-59)
$p - Local AM or PM as a string
$S - Second as an integer (00-59)
$U - Week-of-year, Sunday being the first day (00-52)
$w - Weekday as an integer (0-6), Sunday being 0
$W - Week-of-year, Monday being the first day (00-52)
$x - Standard date string (mm-dd-yy)
$X - Standard time string (hh:mm:ss)
$y - Year as an integer w/o century (00-99)
$Y - Year, including century as an integer
$Z - Time zone (Must have TZ environment variable defined)
$$ - The dollar sign
Please notice that all options are case-sensitive, and if you wish to enter a
dollar sign in the command-line, you must specify it twice or else it
will be interpreted as one of CMDTIME's internal options.

Main enhancement I'd like is the ability to use Win95/98 LFNs, i.e., quite
long concatenations of the above tokens. Current version is limited to
8.3 file names, I think.
Thanks,
Robert.
