Re: Is NT 2000 Dos Batch Timestamp sysntax different ?

Phil,
I can't even guess what HTH is. I only need the date and time variables. Those variables that the user wants to have in his environment are found before the first "=" sign at the start of this file. SETDATE.COM reads this documentation file to determine which of the variables is required unless one parameter is used, see SETDATE.TXT. Can I modify the SETDATE.TXT to be Windows 2000 compatible. -Joe
