PauseWithTimeout is a simple command line utility that extends the
DOS/Windows pause command to allow a timeout in seconds.
PauseWithTimeout has been tested on MS-Windows Vista, 2003, XP and 2000. It should run on all versions of Windows, but has not yet been tested on other versions.

All you need to do to use the utility is to unzip it. You can either run it directly (i.e. place it in the same folder from which it is to be used) or place it somewhere in the path.
PauseWithTimeout without any arguments shows how it should be used:
C:\>PauseWithTimeout
Usage:
PauseWithTimeout n
where n is the number of seconds to wait before continuing
PauseWithTimeout is produced by www.cryer.co.uk.
When supplied with a number of seconds PauseWithTimeout will wait until either that number of seconds has elapsed (with a countdown) or the user presses any key on the keyboard. For example:
C:\>PauseWithTimeout 120
Press any key to continue . . . 106
PauseWithTimeout is supplied as-is with no warrantees or fitness for purpose.
