New V1.01 available

The new version 1.01 has a bug corrected when running on the first of the month. The 1.01 release is year 2000 ready.

YYYYMM

is a small utility who lets you print the current date (and time) in various formats. Since it is mainly designed to handle logfiles, it can even substract one day from the current date. Why ? So you can run the AT command at 0:00 and store the logfile of the previous day in the correct subdirectory.

It is available for a wide range of systems. (Only Intel based)

Support for different operating systems

DOS

For all small systems (gateways etc.) YYYYMM is available as a small DOS application.

WIN32

For more up to date systems, it is available as WIN 32 console application. It runs fine under NT and Windows 95

OS2 16 BIT

For older OS/2 systems, and the OS/2 subsystem of Windows NT

OS2 32 BIT

Just for all WARP fans who think that OS2 has any future ;-)

Netware NLM

Do you use the best available OS for file & print services ???

Commandline

yyyymm [options]

-h
-?          displays a short helpscreen
-1          removes one day from the current date
            is very usefull when running a batchfile at midnight,
            so we can still store the logfiles in the correct
            directory.
-c          don't put a dot in the string. Normaly a dot is placed 
            between the month and the day number.

-e <ENV>    use this environment variable to set
-f <FORMAT> display the date time in this format.

-m          display the month
-n          write a newline at the end of the string
-o <FILE>   instead of displaying the resulting string
            it is written to this file.
