- [Various legal stuff deleted. Just read any other software read_me
- file and you get the general gist of what's been deleted here. The
- bottom line is that if you get so excited using this program that you
- knock your computer off your desk and it lands on your foot, it's not my
- fault.]
-
- ND is 'Freeware'. I don't ask anything for it since it only took me an
- evening or so to cook up. If you love it so much that you feel you
- just have to do something for me, feel free to check out my shareware
- such as Directory Freedom (a nice, small, fast directory manager) or
- 'the last word' (a fiendishly difficult quotations trivia game).
-
-
- There's really not much to using ND. It's a DOS command line utility
- with the following syntax:
-
- ND filename.ext
-
- Only one filename is accepted on the command line but wildcards are
- allowed.
-
-
- What ND does is rename filename.ext to the current date. No, this
- is NOT yet another touch utility -- it doesn't do anything to the
- file's date and time stamp. It changes the NAME.
-
- In other words, if the current date were 11-08-91, filename.ext would
- be renamed to 910811.ext. If there were already a file by that name,
- filename.ext would be renamed to 910811A.ext (and so on until we run
- out of letters at which time ND will abort with an error).
-
-
- What good is this? Personally I use it in a batch file to rename
- message packets from bulletin boards when I archive them. No doubt,
- others have come up with other uses for this program as well.
