- DDATE is a utility program that lets you delete or display files,
- from your floppy or hard disks, by date. DDATE is able to search
- all directories and sub-directories on the current drive. DDATE
- can also search directories which are "Read Only" and "Hidden".
- DDATE 1.3 has the ability to pause and prompt you to press a key,
- if the screen fills up with information.
-
- Switches (Optional):
- The /s switch will tell DDATE to search all the
- /s directories and sub-directories on the current
- working drive. If the /s switch is not used, DDATE
- will only search the current working directory.
-
- The /n switch will turn off the file delete
- /n confirmation. DDATE automatically deletes files,
- with dates that match the one you typed with the
- command, without your consent! BE CAREFUL WITH
- THIS SWITCH!!!
-
- The /l switch can be used if you want to list
- /l the files that have the date you specified without
- any deletions. It will work with the /s switch or
- it can work alone by only listing files in the current
- directory. DDATE will ignore the /n switch if it used
- with /l thus preventing any data loss. When the /l is
- used, DDATE will pause and prompt you to press a key if
- the screen fills up, allowing you to view the information
- easily.
-
- !!! BE CAREFUL AND RESPONSIBLE !!!
-
- You can use any one of these date formats for a valid
- date entry: (n can only be a number)
- n-n-n n-n-nn n-nn-nn nn-n-n
- nn-n-nn nn-nn-n nn-nn-nn
- Slashes ("/") are also legal separators that can be used
- instead of hyphens ("-").
-
- To see instant help from DDATE just type "DDATE" without
- a date. Also take a look at the UPDATE.TXT file that comes
- with DDATE1_3.ZIP. It contains a history of revisions and
- additons to DDATE.
-
- DDATE is "free" of charge for you to use, which means I am
- not liable for any accidental data loss that may occurr during
- use. Feel free to pass DDATE along to your friends.
