DOS Folder with Date Name Creation

Posted by John at 2006-06-14 09:23
The above code works awesome. However, is there a way I can set it to do yesterday's date?

Tough stuff, date subtraction and addition and so forth

Date addition and subtraction is some of the toughest stuff. I think you'd have to use one of these utilities that others have written: a quick Google search yielded these tools:

fdate at http://www.ferg.org/fdate/index.html

nowminus at http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/programs/ (pascal implementation but only requires DOS to run, apparently)

Anyone else have other helper tools for date subtraction?
