Hi folks, real quick question:

Does anybody know of a simple (preferably TSR) utility for DOS
which will allow me to auto-magically run a batch file at a
specified time every night? I don't need anything fancy, no bells, no
whistles, no blinkety lights - just something that will give me a
limited version of the UNIX cron facility.

I don't normally read this group, so please e-mail directly to me and
I will post a summary if I hear anything useful.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
