- TSET31.SLT and TIMECFG.SLT written by Charles Lee on Oct 28,
- 1988. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions
- about these scripts, you can reach me on OPEC BBS (405) 789-
- 2078 or you can leave a message in the National Telix Echo.
-
-
- FILES:
- This archive should contain five files: TSET31.DOC (this
- file), TSET31.SLT, TSET31.SLC, TIMECFG.SLT, and TIMECFG.SLC .
-
- DESCRIPTION:
- TSET31 is a script file written for TELIX v3.1 and is used to
- set your DOS clock to the precise time from the Naval
- Observatory in Washington DC. TIMECFG is a script file that
- creates a configuration file for TSET31.
-
- WHY?
- I wrote this script to replace a much larger program that I
- had been using. Who needs to keep a program larger than 100k
- on the hard drive when a script less than 5k will do the job
- just as well?
-
- USAGE:
- Using these routines is simple. Place TSET31.SLC and
- TIMECFG.SLC into the directory that you keep your scripts in.
- After bringing up TELIX, hit alt-g. When asked which script
- you want to run, type TSET31 <enter>. TSET31 will check for
- the presence of its configuration file. If it doesn't find
- it, it will call TIMECFG to create it. When TIMECFG runs,
- you will be given the opportunity to edit the dialing string
- (you can insert any special dialing codes,if needed) and an
- opportunity to change the time offset value from UTC (for
- instance, there is a 6 hour difference between CST and UTC,
- hence the default value of 6). After running, TIMECFG
- returns you to TSET31. TSET31 will then call the Naval
- Observatory, get the precise time, and set your DOS clock to
- it. Then TSET31 will display the current time with a real
- time clock on the screen. This will let you gather up all of
- the clocks in your house so you can set them. When you are
- done, just hit the space bar to exit.
-
- Should it become necessary for some reason to edit either the
- dialing string or the time offset value, you can run TIMECFG
- directly to make these changes.
-
- DISCLAIMERS:
- I wrote TSET31 primarily for my own use. It probably has at
- least a couple of examples of not-so-good programing
- practices in it, but it works fine for me.
-
- Note that you may find it necessary to put another line in
- the TSET31 script that will transfer the DOS time to the
- memory of your built-in clock. Setting your DOS time does
- not necessarily mean that the time also goes into your

- hardware clock.

- I will not be liable for any damages or claims related in any
- way to the use of these scripts. I make no warranties and
- specifically disclaim any implied warranties of this product.
- Also, I make no claims of suitability of this product for any
- purpose other than to take up space on your disk.
-
- Telix v3.1 is an excellent product of Exis Inc. I am in no
- way shape or form related to them. I wrote these scripts
- solely as a hobby type effort and am releasing them to the
- public domain on the off-chance that someone else may find
- them useful.
