This file explains how to use DATIME for external alarms in Telemate.
1. You should put the TMALARM.BAT file in the Telemate directory.
It is the batch file that Telemate runs when it activates an
external alarm. In this batch file, you can run anything you
like, say a music player, a picture viewer, or a digital sound
player, anything.
Telemate comes with a music player called ROLALARM.EXE. The default
TMALARM.BAT is set up to use this music player. However, this .BAT
file can be replaced with one that uses DATIME. An example
TMALARM.BAT that uses DATIME has been supplied.
Copy the TMALARM.BAT file to the directory that contains
Telemate.
2. You can place DATIME.EXE in the Telemate directory. However,
DATIME can actually be in any directory in your PATH
environment variable.
3. Run Telemate and turn ON the 'External Alarm' option under the
Options/General dialog.
Now you have installed DATIME.EXE as your external alarm. DATIME
requires a lot of memory (200K). You may need to turn ON the
"Swap Telemate to XMS/EMS" or "Swap Telemate to Disk" options
under the Options/General Dialog (indicated by the error message
"Alloc of 65536 bytes failed. Error code 8"). If you continue to
have problems then turn ON the "Maximum DOS Shell" option under
the Options/General Dialog.
