Does anyone know of an MS-DOS equivalent of the Unix cron that
would allow me to time the execution of other PC software (e.g.
activate backup utilities etc in the middle of the night when
I'm not around.

I guess this software would be TSR. Please reply through E-mail
if you know of such software.

Thanks in advance.
