-
- Thank you for your interest in ATS for OS/2 ver. 2.0b!!
-
- ATS for OS/2 is a robust, full featured job scheduler that brings to the
- OS/2 environment the power of host based production job schedulers.
-
- ATS allows you to create true job streams by defining dependencies for a
- particular task. Each task can be dependent upon any number/combination of
- the following: the completion of another scheduled task, the modification
- of a file, or a signal that is sent to the scheduler from outside program.
-
- ATS allows you to define what days of the week a job can run, what days of
- the month a job can run, what time of day a job can run, what months the
- job can run in, and whether the job can run on a holiday or not.
-
- If you have scheduling requirements that go beyond running a particular
- program at a specific time of day, then ATS is for you!
-
- There is but one restriction to this version as compared to the retail
- version. This demonstration version only allows you to schedule a maximum
- of four (4) tasks. The retail version allows tou to define an unlimitied
- number.
-
- Once again, we thank you for you rintereset in ATS. With ATS for OS/2 you
- can take control of your scheuling needs.
