RE: DOS question

While quite an accomplishment considering DOS batch shortcomings, env. variables %date% and %time% are unknowns on NT 4, therefore the trick can not be successfully applied in WinNT4-Win2K3 range.

After let's say "interesting" day yesterday at customer's site and the way some environment variables are/aren't available with scheduled scripts on NT4, I am more convinced than ever that any reliance on Windows DOS batch-ing and/or native (*.wsf, *.vbs, *.js) scripting should be avoided like a plague...
