STANDBY.EXE
(C)1990 Jeffrey S. Morley
All rights are reserved
November 24, 1990


Just a little utility for batch files, to allow you to pause the action for
some period of seconds. I wrote this in support of my .ZIP lab utility for
PCBoard SysOps, but it would be useful in any batch file where you want a
pause in the action.

Syntax:

STANDBY x

Where "x" is the number of seconds to pause.


Standby.Exe is NOT public domain software, and I reserve all rights to the
program. It IS however "FreeWare", which means you may use and distribute
as you see fit. The following restrictions apply:

1) You must distribute the program and its documentation intact and in
original condition.

2) You may NEVER charge for Standby.exe, including rip-off SIG libraries.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
