SWUTIL.PAS

   This program is a quick and easy way to either make your board look more 
k-rad, or actually add a sense of organization. Since I included a working
source, I don't care what you add and subtract from it. In fact, there are
probably a lot of things you could do to it to make it more useful. Like a 
direct file input/output...

The Program:

Here's the idea: Seen all those k-rad pcboards that have 10,001 utils to make
their file areas look like they spent all their lives setting them up? 
One of the utilities I noticed that was common to the PCB scene was something
that would make a file say when when it was uploaded placed inside the zip.
The result is something like this:

(O)
-|- 
/ \ This file is s0 k00l!
It was uploaded to PiRATE W3RLD ()F G3RM4NY on Friday, Novem 23, 1989

Now many of you may already have a feature you can make a file like this
with directly from the bbs with mci codes and a commandline. This file is for
the people who don't have it already. 

Execute the SWUTIL.EXE (Compiled) file from anywhere and it will echo whatever
text you coded TO THE SCREEN. It won't make a file on it's own, but you can 
use the dos ">" command to send it to a file.

Let's say your SWUTIL.EXE is in C:\BBS and you want the output file to go 
directly to C:\BBS\AFILES\ with the file name 'SWUTIL.MSG' ....
During the upload procedure in your bbs, have it execute this:

C:\BBS\SWUTIL > C:\BBS\AFILES\SWUTIL.MSG

Now that you have a file made that has the instantanious time/date (and 
whatever else you put inside), you can do many thing with it. For instance,
have you uploader 'PKZIP -a <FILENAME> C:\BBS\AFILES\SWUTIL.MSG' and it will
be included in the file. Or, have your uploader copy it to the end of an 
advertisement and then do the '-a' command. If you have a zipcomment utility,
this would be a good file to comment a zip with. The last idea I had in mind
when i made this was to comment T-files, which is simple enough.
