1. Windows installation
Copy the executable file from this directory to any directory
on your system. If you are using Windows 3.x or some early versions
of Win 95 then you should copy nistimew.exe. Otherwise copy file
nistime-32bit.exe. The other files in this directory provide additional
information and source code but are not required to run the program.
You can create a short-cut to the program to make it easier to
run it. To do this, open the Windows explorer and go to the directory
where you stored the program. Point to the program name with the
mouse/cursor, hold down the left mouse button and drag the file to
your desktop. This will create an icon on your desktop with the
program name. You can then run the program at any time by
double-clicking on the icon.
Start the program and look at the various help messages for more
information. In particular, see Help | Getting Started. After you have
configured the program save this configuration using File | Save Config.
You will only have to do this the first time you run the program or after
you make a change to the configuration.
If you have created a short-cut to the program on your desktop, you
can edit the short-cut to implement the "once" command as described in
the help messages. To do this, right-click on the short-cut and open
its properties. Look at the target command line, and add the word
"once" at the end of this line, leaving at least one space before and
after this entry. You can enter the word in any combination of upper
and lower case letters. Do not use the quotation marks and do not
change anything else.
2. Removing the program
You can remove the executable file by simply deleting it using
the explorer. In addition, the program may create three other small
files. These are located either in the system directory, which is
usually c:\windows or c:\winnt or in the same directory where the
program itself is stored. These files are:
nistimew.cfg (holds configuration if you have saved it)
nistime.dif (holds time differences if you select this)
nist-srv.lst (holds server list if you update it)
These files also can be deleted using the explorer.
The program does not modify the registry or use any other files.
