- Usage: NEW [/[-]Number_of_days] [File_spec]
-
- NEW.EXE displays a sorted directory based on a file's age. NEW will
- display files before or after a certain date which you specify as an offset
- from the current date and time. The default is to display only those files
- created or updated today. A "day" for NEW is defined as a 24 hour period
- starting at 6 AM and ending at 5:59 AM the following day. For example, let's
- say you are up burning the midnight oil at 2 AM on 6-Oct-85 getting the last
- bug out of a piece of software. If you type 'NEW', you will get a directory of
- all files created or updated since 6 AM, 5-Oct-85 (this unorthodox way of
- defining a "day" is meant to conform to the realities of people with personal
- computers who work into the wee hours). If you type 'NEW/2', you will get a
- directory of files created or updated since 6 AM, 4-Oct-85 (ie. the last 2 NEW
- "days"). If you type 'NEW/-2', you will get a directory of all files created
- or updated before 6 AM, 4-Oct-85...etc,etc. NEW.EXE contains full path &
- wildcard support.
