[Source code would be nice for this. Anyone know if it's available? DF]
Someone asked for an event scheduler. I've used this and found
it adequate for my purposes. The READ.ME file explains where I
got it. It is a TSR that explains itself when you install it,
but I created a file called AT.DOC that contains this output.

I tried it out with CED and it works. Rather than making a README.TOO file for the archive I summarized AT.DOC, READ.ME, and what I found out in the following AT.DOC (formatted with leading blanks so that a printout looks nice). Ralf Medow Ga Tech Box 31446 {gatech,hp-lsd}!gtuplab!ralf Atlanta, GA 30332 ralf@gtuplab.UUCP -----cut here-----cut here-----cut here-----cut here---------- AT == AT [8/26/87] Command Scheduler (c) 1987 Bill Frolik Schedule a DOS command for execution at a specified time and date. usage: AT [ ? | -num | [+]time [date] DOS command line ] ? shows currently scheduled events. -num deletes item number <num> from the schedule. date is month and date, and may be specified in MM-DD, MM/DD or DD.MM format. Note that a year may not be specified. time is specified in hour and minutes, run together or optionally separated by a colon. An 'am' or 'pm' may be appended to the time string; a plus sign signifies time relative to the current time. Scheduled commands are only issued when your system is waiting for you to enter a DOS command at the current command level; any other activity postpones command execution. When initially installed, AT tries to learn when it's appropriate to issue commands -- it will probably get confused if a command editor (like CED or DOSEDIT) is installed on top of COMMAND.COM. [ Remark by a user: If CED is installed first and AT afterwards, AT works. AT issues commands when CED is waiting for a user input, i.e. not between concatenated commands (when 'prog1^prog2' is typed at the DOS prompt and AT wants to issue a command while prog1 is running, this command will not be issued until after prog2 is finished). All commands issued by AT go thru CED, i.e. synonyms, command concatenation etc may be used in AT-scheduled commands. However, 'at +5 cmd1^cmd2' executes 'at +5 cmd1' first, scheduling cmd1, and executes cmd2 immediately afterwards; in order to schedule concatenated commands, one has to use the CED ignorecharacter: '^Nat +5 cmd1^cmd2' schedules cmd1 and cmd2. I didn't try what happens if AT is installed before CED, but I guess then AT may issue commands between commands concatenated by CED and commands issued by AT do not go thru CED, i.e synonyms etc cannot be used in AT-scheduled commands. Ralf Medow, ralf@gtuplab.UUCP ] AT is a TSR and the schedule is kept in RAM; thus the schedule goes away at power-off or reboot.
