I have written a C program which will do only what I had described as a requirement, ie.. wait till next day...
The source code is below...
/********************************************************************************/
/*
This program compiles fine on Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0.
Generated exe is 96kb in size.  How to reduce the size?
*/
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "stdlib.h"
#include "time.h"

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    if(argc > 1) {
        printf("This program sleeps till the end of current day. ie.. exits when a new day starts.\n");
        return 0;
    }
    bool nextDay = false;
    char* inputDate = "";
    char* inputTime = "";
    struct tm *newtime;
    time_t long_time;

    time( &long_time );                /* Get time as long integer. */
    newtime = localtime( &long_time ); /* Convert to local time. */
    int currentDate = newtime->tm_mday;


    for( ;; ) { /* loop as along as required */
        _sleep(1000);
        time( &long_time );                /* Get time as long integer. */
        newtime = localtime( &long_time ); /* Convert to local time. */
        //printf( "%.19s %s\n", asctime( newtime ), am_pm );
        int newDate = newtime->tm_mday;
        if(currentDate != newDate ) { /* exit out of loop when date changes . ie.. next day */
            break;
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

Hope this helps someone.
Will attach binary tomorrow.

That is what my 1.0.0 version, released a week ago (parameter: -+1), can do already... :-\

sprint907:
Yes Ath, and thank you for that.
I was trying to replicate the functions of your utility... but it was too much work :(
so, I settled with a "one function only" utility :)

sprint907:
Attaching the binary and source code in a zip file.

Thanks Ath and rjbull for their help.
