Installing PC Clock
-------------------
If you have a 80286 computer the executable file is called CLK16.EXE.
If you have a 80386 or 80486 computer the executable file is called
CLK32.EXE. Both versions are supplied with the PC Clock package.
CLK16.EXE does not run on the 8086, 8088, 80186 or 80188 CPUs.
PC Clock may be executed from either a floppy or hard disk drive. To
minimize loading time it is recommended that PC Clock be run from
a hard disk drive. You will also be able to create larger data files
on a hard disk drive.
PC Clock is a self-seeking program. It will find itself no matter
which directory you place it in. Because of this you may NOT rename
the executable files CLK32.EXE and CLK16.EXE. If you do PC Clock
will not be able to find itself and it will terminate execution.
If you received the PC Clock package on a floppy disk and plan on
only executing PC Clock from a floppy disk no further installation
is required.
If you received the PC Clock package on a CD-ROM Disk or plan on
placing it on a hard disk you must first create or select a directory
to place the PC Clock files into. Once you have created or selected
a directory to place PC Clock and its documentation files into use
your favorite file transfer utility or the DOS Copy Command to
transfer the files. (PC Clock cannot be executed from a CD-ROM Disk
because it must create and place files on the same drive and
directory it was executed from.)

Executing PC Clock
------------------
If you desire to execute PC Clock from any directory, the directory
name that PC Clock resides in must be placed in the "PATH=" environment
variable. Check your DOS manual for more details.
To execute PC Clock you must be logged onto the drive that holds
the PC Clock programs. If PC Clock resides on the C: drive you cannot
execute it while logged onto the A: drive. If you do PC Clock looks for
itself on the A: drive and since it is on the C: drive it will not be
able to find itself and it will terminate execution.
PC Clock needs to find itself so it can place the CLOCK.CAL,
CLOCK.PRN, CLOCK.LAP, AND CLOCK.SWH files it creates in the same
directory as its executable files.
The first time you execute PC Clock it creates an empty CLOCK.CAL
file and asks you if it is running on an IBM PS/2 computer. The
reason for this question is because according to Microsoft Macro
Assembler Programmer's Guide, Version 6.0 on page 482, some IBM
PS/2 computers cannot reliably read key scan codes using the
keyboard ports. See the CLOCK.DOC text file page 14 for detailed
instructions.
Before you can use any of the various timers you must perform the
Low, Medium, and High Calibration Procedures. See the CLOCK.DOC text
file page 17 for detailed instructions.
