- Notes on TIMESEND & TIMERECV TSR's
- ==================================
-
- This package consists of two MSDOS TSR programs designed
- to work in concert with one another. Both are NETBIOS
- applications which should co-exist with common network
- redirectors. NETBIOS datagram services are employed to
- "broadcast" the current date and time across your
- network.
-
- TIMESEND should be executed on the machine which you wish
- to designate as the "time server" for your network. It
- will load into memory and remain resident (consuming about
- 1.3K). At 10 second intervals, TIMESEND will broadcast
- the date & time, as determined by the CMOS clock in the
- computer, to interested parties on your network.
-
- TIMERECV should be executed on systems which you wish to
- have remain in "sync" with the "time server." When a
- date/time broadcast is received, it is validated for
- integrity, and then used as a basis for setting the MSDOS
- date & time in the computer upon which it is running.
- TIMERECV remains resident and consumes roughly 1.7K.
-
- A few simple reminders.... Since these programs employ
- the services of NETBIOS, the latter must be running at
- the time the TSR's are executed. Also, keep in mind that
- the number of NETBIOS buffers might need to be adjusted
- if the network traffic on a given system warrants it.
-
- Have fun. Feel free to extend the code, fix it, extend
- it, etc. Please leave my name on it though, and, if you
- pass it along to others, don't leave out any important
- components. Regards.... GWM.
