Either you make a little script that takes an argument or something like this.

Code: [Select]
c:makedir `c:date`Dunno if this works everytime.

Shouldn't be that hard to find another date alike tool that just outputs the date without locale messing it up.

Or, use this one.
It is a quick&dirty example.

For sorting purposes you might want to use option 'a', which fits best.

Unfortunately, AMIGA forum does not allow LHA attachments.

A thirdparty tool is as good as a dependency on AREXX, but i like any different solution of course. :)

I used to add several 'c' directories onto my system drive which are late-assigned to C: during startup.
This way i have a rather small C: (or sys:C/) but all my (de)crunchers are in sys:c3/, my own tools are in sys:c_plus/ and so on but they are still reachable from the path.

The problem is that over time, your path fills up with a range of third party tools that you no longer have any idea where they came from or what they really do :)

In practice, I would end up installing everything by hand, even when it had installation scripts.

Sure, but isn't that the fun of being able to do just that on Amiga? ;D
