Well, that's interesting. I'm familiar with some rather old, kludgy ways of
performing very crude date / time logic. This NTism is new to me. So are the
offsets into the strings. Issuing SET to display env vars does not list
this. And, I cannot find it in W2K help. And, neither google nor
microsoft.com seem to be able to do much with % in strings. If anyone can
point me to some documentation on these env vars and related NT / W2K
features, I would welcome it.
