   downloaders, and the latter    
   simply returns the current date in the environment variable %DATE2%. The   
   former first asks for the subfolder (I call it the system, as that is how I   
   organize my backups, but you can change the prompt text.) then makes a   
   temporary copy of the program,    
   deletes rebuildable files (mainly programs and object files), compresses the   
   folder, attaches the date to the name, moves the file to the destination and   
   then deletes the temporary folder. Are you interested? If so, I ask for a way   
   to send you the files    
   in any way you like. I have some information on sourceforge.net and can upload   
   them there, or I can e-mail you the files.

   I looked at the batch files.  They are mostly for my work with emulation, but   
   I have some batch files to compress folders using 7Zip or WInMount to specific   
   locations and assemble a code file to a .COM file using NASM.  Is anybody   
   interested?
