This is a very old, slow ARexx script I wrote for AmiExpress many years ago. You might be able to find a compiled (= much faster) version around, but I didn't want to put this on Aminet in case the rexxplus library and other stuff isn't distributable. To be honest, this script hasn't aged well -> It isn't multinode compatible and it only works for on conference (it is pretty simple to kludge to work for more if you know a little ARexx), however, I think there are still one or two people who still use it, so I though I would stick it on Aminet anyway. At the very least it could be useful for people trying to learn ARexx. :-) Leo 15-Oct-1995 Directory Date: *NOTE* This util is not 100% OK for running on multinode systems. What it does: o It optionally moves files over xx-days from one dir to another (As in the physical files, not the dir-listing for them) o It optionally runs a script file once every 24hours! o It loads up your file directory list and finds where one day ends and another begins, then it adds a datebar. "Been done before" I hear you cry well shut up, because... It also adds the age of your BBS to the datebar. eg:- (ANSI Stripped from DateBar) BULL02.LZH P 5149 01-26-93 Bulletins V0.2 UPDATE! by SiGMA SEVEN! .------------------------------------------. | Another FiNE Product of the | |/X2.2+ /X Developement Team /X3.0+| `------------------------------------------' EMP-JC19.LHA P 8921 01-26-93 /\___./\_/\___/\ /\.__/\___/\____. ___/\_ / _] |T \ Y | / _] _] |/ \ \ \__ \ || , \ | \__ \_ \ | \ T a ] \ | < Y | |] \ \ | > | X/ / | ` / | | / / / | / | /____/___/I___/__|__|_X____/___/__|\__/_I__| AE UTIL: UdClean V1.1 - by EMPiRE/[SBS] EMP-UC11.LHA P 12046 01-26-93 AE DOOR: JoinCnf V1.9 - by EMPiRE/[SBS] --------------------------------------{FleA} _____________________ _____________________ ( ________) Wednesday, 27th January 1993 (________ ) (_____________) <./\.| BBS is 2 years, 1 month & 3 days old!

For more info, read the DirDate.rexx file which has sum stuff at the top of it, as well as the entire ARexx code, fully 10000% documented for anyone who wants to learn how to use ARexx! You gotta edit a config file like it says in DirDate.rexx, but the config file has docs in it, so load it, read it!!
