Assuming that you boot each day, put a batch file call in autoexec.bat;
or schedule a call for 0000h each day.
NOWMINUS F1 L4 Eyear L2 B6 Emonth B9 Edate F5 Edow
will (today) put in the Environment YEAR=2003 MONTH=02 DATE=10 DOW=01 ;
and
NOWMINUS F256 L3 Edow B9 Emonth L2 B6 Edate L4 B13 Eyear
will set DOW=Mon MONTH=Feb DATE=10 YEAR=2003 : it is then easy to copy
files of corresponding names, e.g. copy %dow%.* CurrDoW.*
NOWMINUS (etc.) via sig line 3 below.
If you have privileges enough in your jscript to write a batch file, you
can write a corresponding set of copy statements; if you have privileges
to copy files directly, then A = new Date().toString().split(" ") and
use the parts.
