                               FD (File Date) 
 

Description:   Sets or clears the date stamp or time stamp or both on
               selected files. 
 

Syntax:        Version 4.5:   FD [(drive:)][(path)][(filespec)] [/D(date)]   
                              [/T(time)] [/S] [/P] 
 

                                Parameters: 
 
(drive:)       The single-letter specifier (A:, B:, C:, etc.) for the drive
               you want to use. Follow the letter with a colon. The current
               drive is the default. 
 
(path)         The full name (C:\WP\LETTERS) of the directory you want to
               process. The current directory for the designated drive is the
               default. 
 
(filespec)     The name of the file whose date stamp or time stamp you want
               to set or clear. The default (filespec) is *.*. 
 
/D(date)       The date value you want to set in the selected files. Use the
               form [(mm-)[(dd)[(-yy)]]] if COUNTRY=01 (USA) in your
               CONFIG.SYS file. If you supply the /D switch with no date
               value, FD resets the date on the selected files to 00-00-80.
               If you supply neither the /D nor the /T parameter, FD uses the
               current date. If you supply only a /D value, FD does not
               change the time on the file. If you specify (mm-), FD sets the
               (dd) and the (yy) to 00. If you specify only (mm-dd), FD sets
               (yy) to 00. Acceptable values are:
 
                    mm = 01-12 
                    dd = 01-31 
                    yy = 00-99 
 
               FD does not check to ensure that dd is valid for a specific
               month. 
 
/P             Displays the results in pause mode: You initially see one
               screenful of information, and you must press the Spacebar to
               see each subsequent screenful. Press Enter to scroll up one
               line at a time. Press any key other than Spacebar, Enter, or
               Escape to exit pause mode. You can also enter pause mode
               during normal display by pressing any key other than Escape. 
 


/S             Processes all files in all subdirectories under the current or
               specified path. 
 
/T(time)       The time value you want to set in the selected files. Supply a
               time value in the form [(hh)[(:mm)[(:ss)]]]. If you supply /T
               with no time value, FD resets the time on the selected files
               to 12:00:00. If you supply neither the /D nor the /T
               parameter, FD uses the current time. If you supply only a /T
               value, FD does not change the date on the file. Acceptable
               values are:
 
                    hh = 0-23 
                    mm = 0-59 
                    ss = 0-59 
 
Example:       To reset the date to 9/4/82 and the time to 2:00 P.M. on all
               EXE files in the UTIL directory on drive B.

               Enter:    FD b:\util\.EXE /D09-04-82 /T14
