│ This record is a means of conveying information about a software │

===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
Smart10 is intended for use with the X10 Powerhouse CP290 computer
interface. This interface can be programmed from a personal
computer and will maintain and execute up to 128 timer events.
These events can be set for specific times and days of the week.
The controller has a span of only one week, and does not have the
concept of sunrise and sunset. The software which comes with the
controller is somewhat clumsy to use if you wish to define more
than a few events.
Smart10 was devised to overcome the limitations of the CP290 and its
supplied software. It can maintain a year's calendar of events. You
can use Sunrise and Sunset as times. (You don't have use them as exact
time, you can add or subtract time from them.) Events can be conditioned
to occur (or not to occur) if it is Dark (or Light), between dates you
have specified, or added on command line parameters to the Smart10
program.
There is an "immediate" command mode (run from the command line) whereby
you can issue direct or delayed commands and cancel pending events. Two
programs are included to help you automate your AUTOEXEC.BAT files.
These are CHKTIME and DSTIME. CHKTIME compares the computer's date and
time with target date and times. ERRORVALUE is set if there is a match.
DSTIME is used to adjust your computer clock for daylight savings time.
With Smart10 and these programs you can completely automate maintainence
of your CP290.
Smart10 is distributed as shareware.
Shareware is commercial software distributed in an unconventional
manner. Shareware isn't free. If you use it regularly, the authors
expect compensation. Shareware allows you to evaluate the product
before you purchase it. If you use this product, you are obliged to
register it.
Copies of Smart10 may be freely distributed in its Zip File form
(SMRTEN.ZIP.) No fee, charge or other compensation may be accepted for
the distribution of Smart10. Except, Public Domain Disk Vendors and
BBS(s) may charge a nominal fee for distribution of the program. Such
charges must clearly be labelled distribution charges and the recipient
of Smart10 must be informed that the distribution fee does not relieve
the payment of the registration fee for Smart10.
The Smart10 Program files consist of:
SMART10.EXE The Smart10 program
GENPGM.EXE A program to convert from the X10
Powerhouse software setup
CHKTIME.EXE A program to check bootup time
DSTIME.EXE A program to increment (or decrement)
your computer clock for daylight savings
time.
LOCATION.TXT A list of cities and their latitudes and
longitudes. If you don't know the
latitude and longitude of your city,
pick one that is close by from this
list.
AUTOEXEC.BAT A sample Autoexec batch file
X10SAMPL.PGM An example Smart10 program file
SMART10.TXT The Smart10 document
REGISTER.FRM The Smart10 registration form

Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware
principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a
shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member
directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you
resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide
technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP
Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442-9427 or send a
CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536. The
Ombudsman may be contacted by FAX by sending to the ASP FAX number:
