Datecheck v2.12 - by Gerbert Nuijen ©

A little program to check you're systemclock.
It will make a backup of you're current date en time wich will be stored in
the "S:dc.sav" file. It's just 4 bytes, so don't worry about any space lost.
It has some usefull options like executing a file when the program encounters
a bad date.


Syntax :

Datecheck [-x [Filename]] [-dxxx]

Where :
-x,   means you want to execute an executable when a bad date occurs.
      This is "Sys:Prefs/Time" by default, wich is a part of you're
      workbench 3.0+. (Don't know about 2.x)
      If you specify a filename after "-x", the filename will be
      executed if exists, or else the default will be executed.
      The filename must not begin with a "-", or it will be seen as a
      option.
-dxxx, xxx is the number of days that the difference may be, before
      there is on bad date. xxx must be between 0 - 1000 days. Remember
      if you specify 1 day and you don't startup you're computer for 24h
      it will automatically say there is a bad date, while it is still ok.
      Default is 7 days.


Installation
Just copy it to you're C: dir. And edit you're startup with you're favourite
texteditor (I really recommened Blacks Editor from Marco Negri) and add
something like Datecheck -x if you have OS3.x or else Datecheck -x timeset,
where timeset is you're favourite timesetting program.

Disclamer
I'm not responsible for any data-loss or whatever occurs when you're using
datecheck. Although I'm pretty sure nothing can go wrong. Unless you do
something stupid with the -x option. Like "-x formatall" or something like
that ;)
