     I need to track down a small program for use in batch files that
will check to see if it is a certain day of the week and call a 
program or batch file if so.
     For example, when the user comes into work in the morning and
boots up, a line in the autoexec would do something along the lines of

   "is_day tuesday tues.bat",
   
    so if today is tuesday it will call the batch file 'tues', otherwise
the line will be ignored.  

     Anyone know if a program such as this exists, or will I have to 
track down a compiler somewhere and roll my own?
