1st-boot.com
   Checks to see if this is the first time it has run today.
   It returns:
      1 for first time today
      0 for other times today

Tryit.bat is a simple application for using 1st-boot.com


Gorey Technical Details:

   Put 1st-boot.com in the root directory of your boot device.  If you want
   to have it in a different directory or drive, you must patch it yourself.
   A small bit of extra space is included for patch.

   The date-of-month is stored inside the COM file itself.  This way a 
   separate disk access is not required for a data file.  This means that 
   you should not set the read-only attribute for 1st-boot, since the new
   day-of-month is written to it the first time run that day.  It also saves
   the disk space of a data file, which would be a whole cluster (.5k to 4k).
             
   You can test it by changing your system's DATE and using tryit.bat.
