    Question Putting Timer/Time Delays into your programs

    I'm attempting to write a program that I'd like to go off once the computer's clock reaches a certain time/date. How would one go about doing something like this?

    Sounds a little "buggy." Don't think you'll get much of a response.

    get the system date using a struct for date. I cant remember exactly the code for this but should be in your compiler help.

    There is also one for time, they are both included in dos.h

    copy them into int values and compare them. Sorry this is alittle brief but i will find that code and post it.
