COUNTDOWN Ver 1.0 This is an advanced version of the DOS pause command. It waits for a given amount of time and then exits with errorlevel 0. However if a key is pressed then in exits imediately with an errorlevel given on the command line. I hacked out the program so that I could abort the loading of my BBS, which couldn't be done with the normal pause command which would hang up loading of the board.
