FILES INCLUDED ARE :

AGE.DOC ............... This file.
AGE.EXE ............... Programme file.
TESTAGE.BAT ........... Batch programme to report Errorlevels. (Test Prog)
DEMOAGE.BAT ........... Batch programme to demonstrate use of AGE.EXE
SETGLOB.COM ........... COM prog to set the PRIMARY Environment variables.
SETGLOB.DOC ........... Doc file for SETGLOB.COM
****************************************************************************

DEMOAGE.BAT is called in exactly the same way as AGE.EXE

ie. DEMOAGE

Assume the file is created called when a Hard Disk BACKUP is done.

DEMONSTATION:
=============

(1) {type} DEMOAGE

(2) {type} DEMOAGE where is a valid filename

Assume that the filename above reports an AGE of 10 days (say)

(3) {type} DEMOAGE 14

Since the file is less than 14 days old. ERRORLEVEL 0 (Nothing)

(4) {type} DEMOAGE 7

Since the file is older than 7 days ERRORLEVEL 1 (Warning)

(5) {type} DEMOAGE 7 10

Since the file is older than BOTH 7 and 10 days ERRORLEVEL 2 (Command)

(6) etc

*******************************************************************************

If DEMOAGE 7 14 was included in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, your
PC would inform you each time you BOOTED of your BACKUP status.

REVISIONS: Rev 1.1 (March 30 1988)
==========
If filename exists and the Environment Variable AGE exists,
then, (provided SETGLOB.COM is in directory or PATH), the
Environment Variable AGE will be set to the filename age in Days.
NOTE: AGE in the PRIMARY Environment is updated (NOT the Env Copy).
