Dear Sysops and Users BBS's. If you are user of BBS read only the TIMERPCB.DOC. If you are sysop read this file and the TIMERPCB.DOC Introduction ------------ PCBTIMER is a door program that permits the BBS'S (via DOOR) send date and time to the user and set the date and time clock of the user machine with same date and time from the BBS. How PCBTIMER work ----------------- PCBTIMER works like a protocol file transfer, you put the commands in a DOOR and the user put's his commands in his communication program (see TIMERPCB.DOC). When the user type PCBTIMER the program PCBTIMER.EXE (called via door) reads the date and time from your machine and sends to the user. The TIMERPCB (load by the user) reads date and time from the serial and sets the users machine date and time with the same date and time of the BBS.
