PCTIMECHK SHAREWARE v2.01a INSTALL v2.0a HELP FILE 000119 SOURCE DRIVE: The SOURCE Drive will always default to the drive where the Install program was started. Should you wish to run Install from another drive, enter that drive here. Only one character is required. You will be asked to verify that your entry is correct. Hit Y for YES or click the Y in the Window. Hit N for NO or click on the small n for NO. "No", will allow you to re- enter the option. Any drive from A: to Z: may be selected as a Source Drive. However, it must be an active drive on your PC. Use your mouse and click on the drive of your choice, using either the A: thru Z:, located in the drive letter box. Hit <Enter> to accept the default Source Drive. 000313 USING MOUSE?: PC TIMECHK 2.0 is fully compatible with most Mouse. If you wish PC TIMECHK 2.0 to take advantage of the mouse, answer this question with a YES. Install will then know where to place PC TIMECHK 2.0 in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If your sys- tem does not have a mouse, the default will be NO for no mouse. Detection of a mouse is automatic. Answering this question with a Y (yes) when there is no mouse driver loaded will cause an error message to open on your screen. Hit the <Enter> key to accept the default setting. 000221 TARGET DRIVE: The TARGET Drive will always default to Drive C:. Should you wish to Install PC TIMECHK 2.0 on another drive, enter a drive letter from C: to Z:. PC TIMECHK is designed to run from your PC's "boot" Drive, which in most cases is the C: Drive, but PCTIMECHK will run from any drive. Use your mouse and click on the drive letter, or hit the letter key on which you wish to copy the PC TIMECHK 2.0 files on. PLEASE NOTE: PC TIMECHK 2.0 presumes that your C: Drive is your "boot drive" regardless of which drive you copy its file on to. This assump- tion is made for setting up your PATH and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. Hit <Enter> to accept the default Target Drive. 000430 UPDATE AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE?: Based upon the answers to the first four questions, Install will add PC TIMECHK 2.0 to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file located in the PC's root directory. The AUTOEXEC.BAT file has instructions that tell your PC what to load into memory, what files to run and so forth. Install will read this ".BATch" file and determin where to place the PC TIMECHK 2.0 information so it will run automatically each time your PC is started. Selecting N (no) will bypass this operation and will require this update to be done manually through a text editor. Should this file be longer than 70 lines, Install will not make any changes due to its length. PLEASE NOTE: PC TIMECHK 2.0 presumes that your C: Drive is your Boot Drive regardless of which drive you copy its file on. This assumption is made for setting up your PATH and AUTOEXEC .BAT files. If Drive C: is NOT YOUR BOOT DRIVE, answer NO to the "Change Your AUTOEXEC.BAT File" question. Manual changes will be required to set PC TIMECHK 2.0 into your PATH and modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. See the INSTALL documentation for com- plete details. Hit the <Enter> key to accept the default of Y (yes). 000513 IS YOUR ENTRY CORRECT? This "Is your Entry Correct?" question allows you to review your selection and confirm that it is correct before proce- eding on to the next step. Answer with a Y (YES), hit the <Enter> key (default) for Y, or click on the Y with the left mouse button to accept your entry. If your entry is incor- rect, enter an N (NO), or click on the N with the left mouse button. The default or original entry will replace your entry. Make your entry again. No other key is valid for this response. 000629 AT 286/386/486 OR HIGHER REQUIRED: PC TIMECHK 2.0 Install looks into your PC to see what type of processor is being used. In order for time check to be of value, other than telling you what time it is, it must be able to keep the time you enter as a new or correct time. To retain this new time, you must be using a PC of the AT family. Personal Computers of the XT or earlier type do not use a CMOS or "on board" clock, and therefore cannot retain the new time and date after the PC is powered off. XT and earlier PCs use some type of "add on" board that use a clock/calendar that is set through special software provided by the manufacturer of this board. The AT was the first to provide an "on board" clock and calendar. Before DOS 3.2, AT owners needed to use the "Set Up" diskette when setting the date and time. DOS 3.20 added this feature and eliminated the need for this extra date and time routine. PC TIMECHK 2.0 WILL NOT run on a non-AT machine because of the compiler code used to generate the ".EXE" file. Download from many of the more popular BBSs a copy of version 1.3 of PC TIMECHK, contact Ken Mummery Software, 8968 Ellingham St., San Diego, California 92129-2110, USA, (619) 538-1020 for a copy which will run on the non-AT PCs, but WILL NOT make per- menent changes to the clock/calendar. Please see PC TIMECHK 2.0 documentation for requirements and further details. 000721 DOS REQUIREMENT PC TIMECHK 2.0 Install looks at the version of the Disk Oper- ating System (DOS) currently being used by your PC. Install has determined that DOS is a version less than the minumum requirement of DOS 3.2 or higher. In order for PC TIMECHK 2.0 to affect a permanent change to your PC's date or time, 3.2 DOS or higher is required. Earlier versions of DOS do not have the ability to set your AT's CMOS clock and calendar. Ken Mummery Software recommends that you upgrade your DOS version to at the minimum 3.2 or higher before continuing with PC TIMECHK 2.0 Install. MS or PC DOS 5.0, or above, is highly recommended for its speed and memory handling abil- ities. Please refer to PC TIMECHK 2.0's Documentation for further details and requirements. 000822 <ESC> KEY PRESSED! The <ESC> key has been pressed before PC TIMECHK 2.0 Install has finished installing PC TIMECHK 2.0's required files! To continue, press the "N" Key (or <Enter> Key (default) to clear this message and continue with Install. To end the PC TIMECHK 2.0 Install program, enter a Y. PLEASE NOTE: If any PC TIMECHK 2.0 files have been copied to your Target drive, pressing the Y (YES) key will erase ALL files transfer- red to the Target, AND delete the directories. IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM A PRIOR VERSION, INSTALL WILL NOT ERASE FILES. The AUTOEXEC.BAT file will be replaced with the backup file "AUTOEXEC.CHK", which will be renamed to AUTOEXEC.BAT. NO FILES OR UPDATING WILL BE COMPLETED. See the INSTALL documentation for more information. 001014 INSTALL COMPLETE INSTALL has completed placing PC TIMECHK 2.0 on your PC. You may remove the diskette from the Source Drive and store in a safe place. Press the <Esc> key or click on <Esc> to leave the install program. Reboot (restart) your PC so PC TIMECHK 2.0 can be set into the environment and run. Be certain to use the USERLIST utility to set up important dates you wish to review with PC TIMECHK 2.0. Please see the documentation on using USERLIST and PC TIMECHK. 001112 NO MOUSE DETECTED!: You've indicated that PC TIMECHK 2.0 will be used with a mouse. However, no mouse has been detected. If PC TIMECHK 2.0 will be used with a mouse, please load the mouse driver before running PC TIMECHK 2.0's INSTALL program. Press <Esc> and end this session, load your Mouse driver and re- start INSTALL. If no mouse is to be used, please enter an N (NO) for this question, if not already set to N. 001208 AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE HAS MORE THAN 70 LINES!: Install WILL NOT make changes to any AUTOEXEC.BAT file having more than 70 lines. Add PC TIMECHK 2.0 to this file using any text editor. See the INSTALL documentation for more information. 001312 FILE NOT FOUND!: [ERROR MESSAGE] The file being looked for by Install could not be located on the designated drive. Check and make certain that you have the correct disk in the designated drive, or you have entered the correct source drive letter. Please see the READ.ME file for what files are contained on the distribution diskette. Hit the <Esc> key to TERMINATE Install. 00149 DISK FULL!: [ERROR MESSAGE] The destination drive is full and INSTALL cannot copy the required files. Check to make sure that you have room on the distenation drive, or that you have designated the correct drive. Install will not continue. Hit the <Esc> key to TERMINATE INSTALL. All files copied to to this point will be erased and the directories deleted. 00157 DISK DRIVE NOT READY!: [ERROR MESSAGE] The requested drive is not ready. Please make correct by inserting a diskette, or by closing the drive's door. Hit the <Esc> key when the drive is ready. 001610 AUTOEXEC.BAT ALREADY UPDATED!: [INFO MESSAGE] PC TIMECHK 2.0 has already been added to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Install will not change this file. This prevents TIMECHK.EXE from being added more than one time to your "AUTOEXEC.BAT" file during multipal install runs. Hit the <Esc> key to continue with install. 001717 OVERWRITE EXISTING PC TIMECHK 2.0.DAT FILE. [INFO MESSAGE] PC TIMECHK 2.0 has found and existing PC TIMECHK 2.0 ".DAT" file on the target Drive. This may be due to reinstalling PC TIMECHK 2.0. If you wish to OVERWRITE the current file, press or click on Y. Hit <Enter> or N (the default) to bypass the PC TIMECHK 2.0 source drive "TIMECHK.DAT" file. When you select to overwrite the ".DAT" file, INSTALL will re- name the current file using an extension consistin of the day and last digit of the current year, e.g., if today's date is May 14, 1993, then the file extension name will be ".143" This "backup" file is not set to "read only" and can be deleted or worked with easily. See the INSTALL documentation for more details. 00308 SERIAL NUMBER MISSING INSTALL requires that the Registration Serial Number be recorded. This number can be found on the Disk Label of the original or Distribution Disk. All 8 Characters MUST be entered. 003110 REGISTRATION NAME MISSING INSTALL requires that the registered owner of PC TIMECHK be entered for recording on to the PC TIMECHK's "TIMECHK.ID" file. Any name can be entered up to a total of 35 characters. Company name is an optional entry and need not be made. 004010 BOOT DRIVE INSTALL must know which drive on your PC is used to "boot" or start your PC. This information is used by the install program for locating the PC's AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Under normal conditions this is your C: drive. If C: is not your "boot" drive, enter the letter that represents that drive. 004116 DISK_ID HAS INVALID OR MISSING DISK NUMBER The DISK_ID file found on the source diskette is bad or is missing the number that identifies which disk is in the source drive. This file and disk number is required so install can check the source diskette(s) for correct files. Enter either "1" or "2" in the space provided on the error window and hit <Enter>. INSTALL will place this number on the source diskette for future reference. Therefore, do not write protect the source diskette. If you received one source diskette, enter a "1". If you received two source diskettes, enter the number that repre- sents the correct disk number, "1" or "2". 00428 INSERT "SOURCE DISK 2" IN SOURCE DRIVE INSTALL requires that you insert the second of two source diskettes into the Source Drive. Remove Disk 1 and insert Disk 2. Hit or click on <Enter> to continue the install process. 00436 CANNOT LOCATE "DISK_ID" FILE - ERROR MESSAGE INSTALL cannot locate the required DISK_ID file on the source diskette. Processing cannot continue withou this identification. 006015 Registered Owner - Shareware Version Use the ORDER Form (see ORDER.FRM). PC TIMECHK can be registered by sending a $15.00 US donation to the address given below. A $5.00 shipping fee is charged for over- seas orders. Please specify disk size.

Please register with: PC TIMECHK REGISTRATION Ken Mummery Software 8968 Ellingham Street San Diego, California 92129-2110 USA (619) 538-1020 006124 OWNER'S NAME Please enter your name as the registered owner of PC TIMECHK. Making your entry: This area of INSTALL uses a special "mini" word processor. Use these keys... Backspace - Deletes entry as it moves to the left. Ctrl+Home - Deletes all caracters from cursor to end of line. Delete - Deletes entry at cursor. End - Moves cursor to last line position. Enter - Accepts entry. Home - Moves cursor to first line position. Insert - Add characters at cursor position moving remainder of line to the right. Left/Right Arrow - Move left or right on entry line. Space - Adds blank space in text. See documentation for more information on making entries. 00624 COMPANY NAME (OPTIONAL) The entry of a Company name is optional. 006614 CRITICAL FILE MISSING! [ERROR MESSAGE] INSTALL has reviewed the source files on the Source Disk and has found that one or more critical files are not present! INSTALL CANNOT CONTINUE Locate the missing files and copy them on to the Source Disk, or use your "backup" or ORIGINAL copy of PC TIMECHK as the Source Disk. See the READ.ME file for a list of needed and supplied files. 00635 SERIAL NUMBER: Please enter the eight character serial number found on the Distribution diskette. All 8 characters must be entered. 007018 PATH TOO LONG! INSTALL has determined that your "PATH" statement exceedes, or will exceed the maximum length acceptable by DOS after the addition of "[d]:\TIMECHK". The "acceptable length" may vary by DOS version or the reference material being used. See your DOS manual for extending the Path statement. INSTALL WILL NOT MODIFY YOUR PATH STATEMENT If you wish PC TIMECHK to be in your PC's PATH, you will need to modify it manually. PC TIMECHK will add the Target Drive and TIMECHK's path to the calls within the AUTOEXEC.BAT file so PC TIMECHK can be loaded automatically. 007510 NO AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE FOUND....PC TIMECHK WILL ADD INSTALL could not find the AUTOEXEC.BAT file needed to prop- erly setup you PC. Therefore, one will be added for you and will provide a PATH statement, a Special "Date and Time" PROMPT statement, and TIMECHK as the called program. Select Y (Yes) if you wish INSTALL to add this file to your PC. N (No) to bypass and continue. 008016 SOURCE DRIVE ENTRY ERROR The Source Dirve letter you entered and confirmed is not an acceptable entry. You can run INSTALL from either Drives A: to Z:, but MUST be a valid drive on your PC. Regardless of the drive entered, ALL of the INSTALL programs and required files must be found on the Source Drive named. If not, INSTALL will not be able to locate its required files when it does its "file checking". It is always best to run INSTALL from either your Drive A or from Drive B, and from the Distribution Diskette copy. Press <Esc> to clear and continue with the installation. 008115 TARGET DRIVE ENTRY ERROR The Target Dirve letter you entered and confirmed is not an acceptable entry. You can install PC TIMECHK 2.x on either your "C" through Z" drives. The Target Drive must be a real drive located on your PC. In most cases, your "C" drive is your only hard drive. There- fore, INSTALL defaults to "C:". If you have a Drive D, and you select it as your distination, INSTALL will place all the necessary files on Drive D and setup you AUTOEXEC.BAT file changes on C. Press <Esc> to clear and continue with the installation. 008212 MOUSE ENTRY ERROR The Mouse "Y" or "N" answer entered and confirmed is not an acceptable entry. Please enter a Y for yes or an N for No. INSTALL does further checking of your answer by verifiying your entry of YES by looking for the mouse. If none is found, INSTALL will inform you that it could not locate the mouse you stated you were useing. Press <Esc> to clear and continue with the installation. 008327 AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE UPDATE ENTRY ERROR The entry made was not either a Y for YES, or an N for No. INSTALL needs to know "one way or the other" on this question. INSTALL can make several changes to your system's AUTOEXEC.BAT file if you so wish. INSTALL will check the length of the "PATH" statement and add "[Source Drive]:\TIMECHK" if there's room. As a general rule, INSTALL will NOT add on to the PATH if it finds the path longer than 125 characters in length. Why?... even DOS has limits on its "environment" space. See "your" DOS version's manual for how to extend you path's length and what the PATH statement really does for the operation of your system. INSTALL will add TIMECHK.EXE to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file so by restarting (boot) your TIMECHK file will run automatically. If your PC DOES NOT have an AUTOEXEC.BAT file, INSTALL will give you the very basic of one that has a PATH statement and a special "time & date" PROMPT command. Of course, TIMECHK is included in the file. Press <Esc> to clear and continue with the installation. 008422 OVERWRITE OLD PC TIMECHK DATA FILE? During the process of overwriting a current PC TIMECHK .DAT file, the INSTALL program makes a backup copy of the the one found in the \TIMECHK\TCDATA directroy. To do this, INSTALL places an extraction of the current date as the old file's extension. For example, if today is July 26, 1993, INSTALL uses the day's date (26) and the last digit of the year (3) as the backup copy's extension, or ".263". However, during the process of making the backup copy, INSTALL has found a file using the current date's extension. You are being asked if you wish to OVERWRITE the existing backup copy or not. A YES answer will cause the current TIMECHK.DAT backup file to be erased and the "current" one to be placed as the backup. A NO answer will keep the current backup. The "to be replaced" file will be OVERWRITTEN by the TIMECHK.DAT file found on the Souce diskette. 009013 MEMORY ERROR! INSTALL has detected that not enough memory is available to copy the necessary files to the Target drive. You will need to terminate INSTALL and remove all memory resident programs, (if any) that are currently running. Once removed, try INSTALL again. You may wish to copy all INSTALL files and their directories on to a "startup" or bootable diskette and run INSTALL in this manner. 09993 There is no help screen for this procedure.
