Short: Amiga Worldwide Atomic Clock Synchronizer V1.1 Author: chufarj@telepath.com (John Chufar) Uploader: chufarj@telepath.com (John Chufar) Type: comm/misc Replaces: Atomic Installation: 2 easy steps 1) Copy atomic.rexx to your s: drawer. 2) Set the 'script' bit on atomic.rexx at shell prompt, with: >protect s:atomic.rexx +s Requirements: 1) AmiTCP: or Miami TCP - requires TCP: device) 2) AmigaDOS 3.x or greater (env:Locale.prefs file used) 3) ARexx Operation: 1) Start AmiTCP: 2) Start ARexx (Normal for "Most" Amigas) 3) At the shell prompt, type: >atomic.rexx y (in summer - sets it up for DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME-DST) -or- >atomic.rexx n (in winter - sets it up for NO DAYLIGHT SAVINGS) -or- Double Click the ICON (you MUST answer the DST question) 4) After a successful connection is made, your clock is set. 5) After the time is set, close the Tools Output window. Improvements - Fixed Year 2000 compatibility problem with timeserver - Converted AtomiColock to ALL AREXX - Added time differences to show how much your system clock DID change - Pseudo-compensates for program time to calulate 'error' - Uses ARGS to prevent y / n DST answer during operation - Still retains interactive mode if you leave off the ARG i.e. >atomic.rexx then the program asks you if you want DST adjustment Other Suggested Operations: 1) Add it to ToolsPrefs or similar "menu" program. This program is freeware, so if you use it please consider my time spent to set your time. No fee is required to register. I will email your upgrades as they release.
