 DKCLOCK, a timer that can write to a file so you can keep track of .bat    
 execution, or whatever.  Also has a display mode it goes into if you do    
 not specify a file name.  Tells you the day of the week as well as the     
 date and time.  Which is handy if, like many brilliant people, you are     
 often unsure of whether it is Wednesday or Thursday and would like to be   
 reminded in autoexec.bat.                                                  
                                                                            
 VC12  Volume checker.  Gets the volume label of a floppy and compares it   
 with the label you give on the command line and returns an errorlevel      
 accordingly.  Does not get stuck when it finds an empty drive or           
 unformatted disk.  Now you can have the night maintenance routine of a     
 bbs back up important files -- and do a different backup each night.       
 When was the last time you backed up your bbs?  You're kidding!  What if   
 the drive crashed?  Get Volume Checker.                                    
                                                                            
 DC  Day Checker.  This one informs your batch file of the day of the       
 week.  It makes it possible to do different things on the different        
 days.  Maybe running your message base packing utility once a week like    
 I do, or reminding the secretary to back up the computer on Monday.
