*
* AUTO_RUN.PRG runs other programs at specified times. It requires
* a command file, which has command lines of the following form:
*
* time,priority,program_to_run,command_tail_for_program_to_run
*
* The time is in the form:
*
* hh:mmx
*
* where hh stands for the hour (1-12), mm stands for the minute (00-59)
* and x is a or p for am/pm (I never liked military time).
*
* The priority can be 0-65535. 0 means no change (the task runs at the
* same priority as AUTO_RUN).
*
* A complete pathname is required for the program to be run, unless it
* resides in the same drive/directory that AUTO_RUN was executed from.
* The command tail can be 125 chartacters long and is passed verbatim
* to the program being executed. If there is no command tail, there
* must still be a comma after the command name.
*
* There can be any number of lines in the AUTO_RUN command file. After
* it executes a program, it searches the file for the next program
* to be executed. It then waits for the given time to be reached,
* executes the program and scans the file again. Note: the command file
* must be in ASCII format, with CR(LF)s at the end of each line. The
* pathname to the command file is passed to AUTO_RUN on a command line.
*
* ATTENTION: no two commands can have the same time to run. They should
* be at least 1 minute apart. Since seconds are not counted, AUTO_RUN
* could end up executing the same program over and over for an entire
* minute. To keep this from happening, as soon as it runs a program it
* updates its time counter by one. Thus it won't match the program it
* just ran, but will match one that is to be run in the next minute.
