D-CHK.EXE is a small program for use with BATCH files to compare the
time-date stamps of two files. DOS Errorlevels are returned depending
on the parameters. To view the help screen, just type D-CHK at the
DOS prompt.

A sample BATCH language file is included to illustrate how the DOS
error return levels can be detected and acted upon.

The unwanted output from the D-CHK program can be discarded by using
redirection.

Example of redirection:

D-CHK FILE_1 FILE_2 >NUL
where the output is redirected (">") to the bit bucket ("NUL").
