Dear Sysops and Users BBS's. If you are user of BBS read only this file. If you are sysop read this file and the PCBTIMER.DOC Introduction ------------ TIMERPCB is a program that permits the users set the date and time clock of the machine with same date and time from the BBS, since the BBS has PCBTIMER DOOR. Ask for the sysop if his bbs's don't have PCBTIMER DOOR. How TIMERPCB work ----------------- TIMERPCB works like a protocol file transfer, you put the commands like a external protocol. When the user type PCBTIMER (the door name into the BBS), the BBS sends date and time to the serial. The TIMERPCB reads date and time from the serial and sets the users machine date and time with the same date and time of the BBS. How to install TIMERPCB.EXE --------------------------- Build a PCBTIMER.BAT file with the following commands: TIMERPCB address irq where: address is the port address of your serial. If you put a symbol $ before the number, TIMERPCB assumes hexadecimal value. irq is the irq number of your serial Examples: TIMERPCB $3F8 4 (for COM 1) TIMERPCB $2F8 3 (for COM 2) You can put any address with any irq, TIMERPCB assumes that address and irq are valid numbers.
