/* Copyright 1994 Anthony Lawrence

Archives files to a date, sequence  number format.

For example, IBCOPY DT *.DAT produces (assuming today is 12/31/94)

941231DT.001
941231DT.002
941231DT.003  and so on.  You can add a directory argument also:

IBCOPY MF *.GIF \MYSTUFF produces

\MYSTUFF\941231MF.001
\MYSTUFF\941231MF.002

Note that this is not written to support more than 999 files
being copied with the same tag and directory.  You could
easily modify this to use .aaa, etc. if you want.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
