- Vendors, User Groups, and Schools must read the file VENDOR.DOC for
- important information relating to their use and distribution of this program.
-
- Shareware is NOT FREE. If you "buy" a disk full of software for $3.95,
- $5.00, or $9.99 all you have paid for is the disk, the time for making the
- collection, and shipping and handling.
-
- The Shareware author is still legally entitled to receive compensation for
- his work. Many programmers make their living by distributing their programs via
- Shareware. The license fee/registration which you should send is a programmer's
- paycheck.
-
- Shareware is NOT mediocre software because it's cheap. "Commercial"
- software's price is mainly advertising, packaging and distribution costs, with
- Shareware you are NOT PAYING for these services.
-
- Shareware gives you get the ULTIMATE GUARANTEE, "If you don't use the
- product, you don't pay for it!". Try getting that guarantee with "commercial"
- software. ~0A

- SETTIME 1.3 - Copyright (c) 1988 by Unique Software
-
- One of our mighty-mini utilities weighing in under 2K, 1303 bytes to be
- exact. SETTIME calls The United States Naval Observatory modem (area code 202),
- downloads one of USNO's time strings and then sets your system time AND DATE.
-
- SETTIME's flowchart follows this pattern:
- Send Dial String to Modem (user settable string and COM port)
- Moniter Carrier Detect for ## seconds (user settable)
- If carrier is detected skip to connect procedure
- Check keyboard for [ESC] key
- If [ESC] key has been pressed then abort SETTIME else Restart SETTIME
-
- Connect Procedure:
- Store sufficient USNO characters to calculate time and date
- Calculate and Set Time (user settable offset to GMT)
- Drop DTR [attempt to hang up modem]
- If still online send user hangup string
- Calculate and Set Date
- If still online send message to user
- Send ending message to user
- ~#2~02
- Since there are no parameters for SETTIME, you will need to reconfigure
- SETTIME for standard or daylight time if your area is so affected by this
- governmental influence. If SETTIME fails to force your modem to hangup, don't
- worry too much. The United State Naval Observatory only allows each call to be
- 60 seconds long. Therefore they will drop carrier on your modem after 60
- seconds.
-
- It is important that you study INSTALL.SCR for more information vital for
- Settime to perform properly with your RS232 Port, Modem, and Time Zone.
-
- You will need to have DEBUG.COM (this is a program that came with your DOS
- files), SETTIME.COM, and INSTALL.SCR on the same disk or in the same directory.
- [Don't worry you don't have to know how to use DEBUG. INSTALL will do all the
- work.] Also you will need a word processor, or EDLIN (also came with your DOS)
- so you can alter the INSTALL file. Explanations within INSTALL will point out
- exactly what you need to change and where. [Please keep the original of
- INSTALL.SCR and SETTIME.COM in a safe place and use copies of the programs to
- INSTALL with.] When you have finished making all the changes necessary then all
- you will need to do is type the following after your DOS prompt :
- "DEBUG < INSTALL.SCR" [don't include the quotes of course). SETTIME will be
- altered to your parameters.

- DTM 1.0 Copyright (c) 1987 by Unique Software
-
- DateTiMe is a useful utility if you don't have a clock/calender yet or if
- your battery backup clock is not working. The program is small (560 bytes),
- powerful, and simple as are the options you can enter on the command line.
-
-
- Usage
-
- DTM has essentially these formats:
- DTM (with no parameters)
- DTM ## (number_of_days_to_add)
- [full documentation explains the remaining format(s)]
-
-
- DTM (with no parameters)
-
- This resets the Date and Time of the DTM file to whatever you currently have
- set your computer. This is necessary for DTM to be able to automatically set
- your computer's date and time when you boot up your computer. This should be
- done NOW, after you have ARC-E'd DTM.COM from DTM.ARC.
- ~#4~03
- DTM ## (number of days to add) (00-31 are valid)
-
-
- This format of DTM does four things. First, DTM read's its own date and time.
- Second, DTM adds the number of days you specified to the current date, adjusting
- the month and year if necessary. Third, DTM sets your computer's date to this
- calculated date. And Fourth, DTM sets it's own date to this new, calculated
- date.
-
-
- If you are in the habit of turning off your computer each night before going
- to bed, then turning it back on the next day; just insert the following line
- into your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
-
-
- DTM 01
-
-
- The date will be automatically set and should be correct each time without
- any action from you. There MUST be a leading zero if the increment is less than
- ten.
