NISTDIAL and NISTP utilities.
Copyright 1991, 1992 by Lookout Mountain Software.
All rights reserved. See below for conditions of use.
This is a small program to set the clock using the National Institute of
Standards and Technology clock. NISTDIAL is for MS-DOS, NISTP for OS/2 2.0.
This program may be distributed freely as long as all files:
NISTDIAL.EXE
NISTP.EXE
NISTDIAL.CFG,
README.NIS
are included together in unmodified form. If you find this program useful, I'd
appreciate it if you would put a $10 US or equivalent donation in the mail to
your local National Multiple Sclerosis Society or Red Cross charitable
organization. This donation is _required_ for commercial users.
For Colorado and Mountain Standard Time, NISTDIAL should be invoked with:
NISTDIAL -t7 -dy
or, for OS/2,
NISTP -t7 -dy
For Central Standard Time, use -t6, for Eastern, -t5, for Pacific, -t8, etc.
A TZ environment setting can also be used instead of command line parameters.
For Colorado, this is via
C> SET TZ=MST7MDT
and then
C> NISTP
For more help, type
C> NISTP -?
For help with setting up the optional configuration file, read NISTDIAL.CFG.
Note for those with a buffered (16550AFN equivalent) UART and OS/2
and other multitaskers:
This program works best if the i/o is NOT buffered, so that a consistent
turn-around can be registered with the two data terminals.
For OS/2, set buffer=off just for this program (it will also work without
this but won't set time to the millisecond as well).
Source for the complete CPPCOM C++ serial communications library for DOS,
Windows for DOS (NT available when NT is available!), and OS/2 used to write
this program and many others is available for US$79 from:
