how to write a scheduler program for dos using turbo-c?

[subra]

i am using dos operating system. I use turbo-c to write my c programs. I want to write some sort of scheduling program, a tsr program, which will check for a condition say, every 10 minutes, and then execute a program as a result of the check.

for example, i am trying to download a file. I do not know whether the file has already been placed in the sender's outbox for me. but i would like to keep checking this and download as soon as it is placed for me. can anyone help or point me to some place where such code is available.

thanks

I think you can not use TSR programs to control/Access the activity of a Windows application.

You have to choose the Windows schedule programming.
