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.
