- PROGRAM: SCHEDULE

-
- This is a very simple program for scheduling batch (.BAT) and executables
- (.EXE and .COM) to be executed from the Windows environment at a day of
- week and time.
-
- When you first run the program, click the Add button. Then use the directory
- boxes to select a file and the combo boxes to select a day of week and time.
-
- After a file has been added to the schedule list, you can modify or delete it
- by clicking on the schedule line and selecting the appropriate button. The
- Save button saves the current list to a file (DEFAULT.SCH in the default
- Windows directory) which will be loaded the next time SCHEDULE is executed.
-
- Pressing the Start button begins a timer process that checks the list about
- once a minute to see if any item qualifies to be run. Re-selecting this
- button (which is now renamed to Stop) ends this process. Whenever a program
- or batch file is executed, the schedule list is saved to file.
-
- Exit the program using the Close option of the system menu.
