TimeMaster II H.O. Copyright (C) 1986 by Applied Engineering Pascal Instructions The programs that are provided on the disk will enable Pascal programs to access the TimeMaster II clock card. All of main programs are already installed in a standard system library file ready for use. These programs enable the programmer to retrieve a numerical representation of all the clock's day and time information or a pre-formatted string of the current time and date. In order to allow the Pascal system to access these programs the current SYSTEM.LIBRARY file must be replaced on your system bootup disk. The new SYSTEM.LIBRARY file contains all of the old Pascal units plus the TimeMaster II unit. To replase the old SYSTEM.LIBRARY follow the steps below: 1. Enter the filer and remove the current SYSTEM.LIBRARY. 2. Transfer the corresponding LIBRARY file on the TimeMaster II disk to your system bootup disk. Use LIBRARY1.1 for Pascal 1.1 and LIBRARY1.2 for Pascal 1.2. 3. Change the name of LIBRARY file to SYSTEM.LIBARY. 4. Exit the filer. The installation is complete and the TimeMaster II Pascal routines are now ready to use. If the SYSTEM.LIBRARY you are currently using has been changed then the units must be installed into the current library using the program LIBRARY. You will need to refer to the Pascal Operating System Manual for further information on how to do this. Remember to check the segments used in the TimeMaster II units against the segments in your current library. If there is a conflict then the TimeMaster II programs will need to be changed and recompiled to reside in different segments than the ones currently being used. There is an additional program that is provided that will automatically set the Pascal system date at bootup time. This ensures that a file will be saved with current date without the user having use the date function in the filer. To use this program the TimeMaster II units will have to be already installed into the SYSTEM.LIBRARY file. Transfer the file STARTUP.TEXT to your system bootup disk. Edit the file to use the correct poke for the system that you are using. Next compile the file into a code file. Finally change the name of the code file to SYSTEM.STARTUP. Then, every time the Pascal system is booted the system date will be updated. The source code and an example program are provided that will demostrate how to use the new TimeMaster II clock program. If the current format for accessing the clock does not fit your needs, all of the information needed to change it has been provided.
