   Absolutely, John.  Thanks.   
      
   I think those people would have to use this:   
      
   if %time:~0,2%%time:~3,2% LSS 800 if /i "%time:~6,2%"=="am" (   
       echo the time is before 8am.   
   )   
      
      
   The original code also needs LSS rather than LEQ to fix that extra minute,   
   but a solution using WMIC is more robust.
