NAME

	REDATE -- Redate files to today's date and current time, or
	remove date entirely.



SYNTAX

	REDATE [/option] [d:][path]filespec ...

	where option is	NONE, LIST, SUMMARY, or	QUIET.	Default
	is SUMMARY.

	If d: is omitted, the current drive is assumed.

	If path	is omitted, the	current	directory is assumed.

	The filespec may include wildcard characters.


DESCRIPTION

	REDATE will reset the date to the current system time, or
	will remove the	date entirely (such that none appears when
	the DIR	command	is used.)

	If the NONE option is indicated, the date will be removed.

	If the LIST option is indicated, it will list all the files
	that it	redates.

	If the SUMMARY option is indicated, only a summary of the files
	redated	will be	printed.

	If the QUIET option is indicated, no output is created -- not
	even error messages.


EXAMPLES

	To redate the files on drive B:, in the	TEMP subdirectory,
	issue the following command:

	REDATE B:\TEMP\*.*

	or the equivalent

	REDATE B:\TEMP\

	where *.* is assumed if	a path is given.

	More than one file may be redated using	this command, and
	they are specified separated by	one or more spaces, or a
	comma.	For example, to	redate both THISFILE.DOC and its
	backup copy THISFILE.BAK, but not THISFILE.PRN,	issue the
	following command:

	REDATE THISFILE.DOC THISFILE.BAK

	Note that multiple wildcard references may be given, so	that
	to redate all the files	in root	directories of drives A:, B:,
	and C:,	issue the following command:

	REDATE A:*.* B:*.* C:*.*

	or the equivalent

	REDATE A: B: C:
