Short: Amiga Worldwide Atomic Clock Synchronizer V1.3 Author: chufarj@telepath.com (John Chufar) Uploader: chufarj@telepath.com (John Chufar) Type: comm/misc Replaces: Atomic1_3 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 TCP program (AmiTCP or MIAMI) 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 "Atomic1_3 bug - +++ Error 26 in line 363: Missing or unexpected END" - Added second NIST Clock - Added version to title screen - References NIST clock now - Fixed Year 2000 compatibility problem with timeserver - Converted AtomiClock 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. 2) Add it to Events in Miami as follows: (Doing this automatically runs Atomic.rexx everytime you use Miami!) 1) Start Miami 2) Select "Events" 3) Select the "Online - Filename Box" and enter 's:atomic.rexx n' (no quotes, and the "n" is for NO DST-change this to y in the summer) 4) Select "Console name" box and enter: CON:2/10/600/150/Atomic Clock/AUTO/CLOSE This program is freeware, so if you use it please consider my time spent to set your time.
