 A Batch utility program.

This version is released as "Free-Ware."  Therefore it will cost you nothing

Purpose:  I needed to run some jobs on my PC while I sleep, to get things
          done.  I didn't want to always use my "shelling" program
          PC Job to get this done, I wanted to invoke it from a batch job.
          So I wrote this program.

What it does: It will check the internal clock against a time you supply
              it to exit.

How to input:  Type exittime (time)   (time) is the time you want the
               program to exit in the 24 hour format HH:MM.  If it is
               4:00 A.M.  you need to input it as 04:00, if it is
               4:00 P.M.  you need to input it as 16:00.  That simple.
               It's just invoked from a command line.  If you need
               help, just type exittime H.  F10 will stop the program
               at any time, so you won't be stuck.

Sample batch file:

echo off
cls
exittime 22:15
copy c:\opus\user.bbs d:\backup\userbbs.bak
exittime 01:00
copy c:\opus\*.cu? c:\opus\outbound\*.*
exittime 04:00
smam bbs
exittime 05:00
vopt
coldboot

This was a sample batch file that I could use on my system, running on
my empty side of my two multitasking system.  Even if this job is major
swapped out, as long as it can get one second out of 60 it will work fine.

Good luck, hope you enjoy the program.  No warranties given, nor liabilities
assumed.  Use at your own risk.
