i have never seen sources for the dos daynbr tool... however, it isn't
really needed if you have something (ie: 4DOS/4OS2/4NT) that can generate
the dayofyear number... some folks mistakenly call this the julian day
number... 


in any case, the best thing i like about daynbr is that it is easy to
denote the number {at}### and doesn't require something like %_DOY% which
really isn't all that bad... another positive is that it can do some
rudimentary math on the doy number, too... i have, somewhere around here,
replicated most all of this in 4DOS bat/btm files but i haven't seen it in
a very long time... might be easier to just write a replacement from
scratch :?

speaking of writing from scratch, if you do pascal, then you might want to
look at FPC (FreePasCal) which is cross-platform and multi-bits... i'm
pretty sure they have some library code that can (easily?) handle this and
even the maths stuffs :)
