   Hi! Bill,   
      
   On 22 Sep 15 07:41, you wrote to me:

   The usual practice has always been that such scripts come with instructions on   
   how to use them.  I did try it in XP but the attempt crapped-out, as is usual   
   for anything DOS I ever needed to do in it.  Which is why I'm still running   
   Win98SE, with the best ever MS-DOS.   
      
   Okay.  I ran DEBUG against the script, and it produced a neat .ZIP enclosing   
   an .EXE called Datefile.  I ran Datefile against a test text file in XP and it   
   worked!  I now have a file named 092315A.TXT in place of the original.  How's   
   that!  :)   
      
   I'll deliver the Datefile.Zip to your node, real soon.  Look out for it.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
