Program to generate applications which are time bound/evaluation

Create stand alone application which is time bound to distriute for demo purposes.

Description

This program is useful in generating a demo application which can be integrated in your stand alone application to make it time bound. This can particularly be useful when you want to distribute  
your stand alone applications for demo purpose so that your application is  
fully functional for the specified amount of days  
 
Help for evaluation.p  
function [output days_in_use] = evaluation(num_of_days,msg_on_off)  
 
USAGE : output = evaluation(30,'on');  
 
Examples:  
output = evaluation; %takes 30 as default and message to 'on'  
output = evaluation(30,'off');  
 
First input argument specifies the number of valid days ex: 30  
Second input argument specifies whether to give an error dialog or not e:  
'on'  
 
P.N: evaluation.p and remove_evalution.p are the only files required for  
placing and removing the time limit. Rest of the files in the zip file  
are for the gui, magic_number.m  
 
Help for remove_evaluation.p  
This function is used to remove any changes made by the evaluation function.  
Usage : remove_evaluation  
 
Help for magic_number.m  
This is a demo gui for testing the above said evaluation function  
Usage : magic_number  
To test whether the program works for 30 days or not , just change the  
date from the system tray and re run the application. If you change the  
date backward, it will give an error but as soon as the date is modified  
to the latest date set, it will start again.  
Good Luck!

Works as claimed but would be interesting to know how it works.  
(When i ran it Zonealarm tried to block its execution coz it was trying to access the cmd prompt)

Ok, call me ungrateful, but submitting closed-source code.. :(
