 ml> yep... even if the tool does nothing but to emit the DoY number...

 PQ> Nah.  I was thinking of a two-liner, still involving daynbr (which

yeah, that's similar to the one i posted where the ficticious whatdoy tool 
emits the doy number which is redirected to stdout and then saved to a bat to 
be called next...

 PQ> However, the environmental constraints that Dallas is hinting at
 PQ> has me confused.

seems that he doesn't or can't run a VM and the old 16bit apps are [censored] 
in this supposedly better world of 64bit schtuff :?
