I'd like to automate Managing Your Money backups for my wife in the following way. After exiting, she starts a program that would do pkzip %1 *.db *.ark while <there is NOT enough room on the floppy in A:> echo "Put a new floppy disk in A:" copy %1 A: %1 is the name of the archive file and should be automatically created from today's date. I'm not an MSDOS programmer but I could probably hack something in Turbo C is someone would point out: a) how to create a file whose name is based on the date b) check file size c) check room remaining on a floppy disk.
