PCTIMECHK SHAREWARE v2.01a INSTALL v2.0a HELP FILE
000119
SOURCE DRIVE:

The SOURCE Drive will always default to the drive where
the Install program was started.

Should you wish to run Install from another drive, enter
that drive here.  Only one character is required.  You
will be asked to verify that your entry is correct.  Hit
Y for YES or click the Y in the Window.  Hit N for NO or
click on the small n for NO.  "No", will allow you to re-
enter the option.

Any drive from A: to Z: may be selected as a Source Drive.
However, it must be an active drive on your PC.
Use your mouse and click on the drive of your choice, using
either the A: thru Z:, located in the drive letter box.

Hit <Enter> to accept the default Source Drive.
000313
USING MOUSE?:

PC TIMECHK 2.0 is fully compatible with most Mouse.  If you
wish PC TIMECHK 2.0 to take advantage of the mouse, answer
this question with a YES.  Install will then know where to
place PC TIMECHK 2.0 in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  If your sys-
tem does not have a mouse, the default will be NO for no mouse.
Detection of a mouse is automatic.  Answering this question
with a Y (yes) when there is no mouse driver loaded will cause
an error message to open on your screen.

Hit the <Enter> key to accept the default setting.
000221
TARGET DRIVE:

The TARGET Drive will always default to Drive C:.

Should you wish to Install PC TIMECHK 2.0 on another drive,
enter a drive letter from C: to Z:.  PC TIMECHK is designed
to run from your PC's "boot" Drive, which in most cases is
the C: Drive, but PCTIMECHK will run from any drive.

Use your mouse and click on the drive letter, or hit the
letter key on which you wish to copy the PC TIMECHK 2.0 files
on.

PLEASE NOTE:

PC TIMECHK 2.0 presumes that your C: Drive is your "boot drive"
regardless of which drive you copy its file on to.  This assump-
tion is made for setting up your PATH and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.

Hit <Enter> to accept the default Target Drive.
000430
UPDATE AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE?:

Based upon the answers to the first four questions,
Install will add PC TIMECHK 2.0 to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
located in the PC's root directory.  The AUTOEXEC.BAT file
has instructions that tell your PC what to load into memory,
what files to run and so forth.  Install will read this
".BATch" file and determin where to place the PC TIMECHK 2.0
information so it will run automatically each time your PC
is started.

Selecting N (no) will bypass this operation and will require
this update to be done manually through a text editor.
Should this file be longer than 70 lines, Install will not
make any changes due to its length.
PLEASE NOTE:

PC TIMECHK 2.0 presumes that your C: Drive is your Boot Drive
regardless of which drive you copy its file on.  This
assumption is made for setting up your PATH and AUTOEXEC
.BAT files.

If Drive C: is NOT YOUR BOOT DRIVE, answer NO to the "Change
Your AUTOEXEC.BAT File" question.  Manual changes will be
required to set PC TIMECHK 2.0 into your PATH and modify your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  See the INSTALL documentation for com-
plete details.

Hit the <Enter> key to accept the default of Y (yes).
000513
IS YOUR ENTRY CORRECT?

This "Is your Entry Correct?" question allows you to review
your selection and confirm that it is correct before proce-
eding on to the next step.  Answer with a Y (YES), hit the
<Enter> key (default) for Y, or click on the Y with the left
mouse button to accept your entry.  If your entry is incor-
rect, enter an N (NO), or click on the N with the left mouse
button.  The default or original entry will replace your
entry.  Make your entry again.

No other key is valid for this response.
000629
AT 286/386/486 OR HIGHER REQUIRED:

PC TIMECHK 2.0 Install looks into your PC to see what type
of processor is being used.  In order for time check to be
of value, other than telling you what time it is, it must be
able to keep the time you enter as a new or correct time.  To
retain this new time, you must be using a PC of the AT family.
Personal Computers of the XT or earlier type do not use a CMOS
or "on board" clock, and therefore cannot retain the new time
and date after the PC is powered off.  XT and earlier PCs use
some type of "add on" board that use a clock/calendar that is
set through special software provided by the manufacturer of
this board.  The AT was the first to provide an "on board"
clock and calendar.  Before DOS 3.2, AT owners needed to use
the "Set Up" diskette when setting the date and time.  DOS
3.20 added this feature and eliminated the need for this
extra date and time routine.

PC TIMECHK 2.0 WILL NOT run on a non-AT machine because of the
compiler code used to generate the ".EXE" file.  Download
from many of the more popular BBSs a copy of version 1.3 of
PC TIMECHK, contact Ken Mummery Software, 8968 Ellingham St.,
San Diego, California 92129-2110, USA, [phone] for a
copy which will run on the non-AT PCs, but WILL NOT make per-
menent changes to the clock/calendar.

Please see PC TIMECHK 2.0 documentation for requirements and
further details.
000721
DOS REQUIREMENT

PC TIMECHK 2.0 Install looks at the version of the Disk Oper-
ating System (DOS) currently being used by your PC.  Install
has determined that DOS is a version less than the minumum
requirement of DOS 3.2 or higher.

In order for PC TIMECHK 2.0 to affect a permanent change to
your PC's date or time, 3.2 DOS or higher is required.
Earlier versions of DOS do not have the ability to set your
AT's CMOS clock and calendar.

Ken Mummery Software recommends that you upgrade your DOS
version to at the minimum 3.2 or higher before continuing
with PC TIMECHK 2.0 Install.  MS or PC DOS 5.0, or above, is
highly recommended for its speed and memory handling abil-
ities.

Please refer to PC TIMECHK 2.0's Documentation for further
details and requirements.
000822
<ESC> KEY PRESSED!

To end the PC TIMECHK 2.0 Install program, enter a Y.

PLEASE NOTE:

If any PC TIMECHK 2.0 files have been copied to your Target
drive, pressing the Y (YES) key will erase ALL files transfer-
red to the Target, AND delete the directories.  IF YOU ARE
UPGRADING FROM A PRIOR VERSION, INSTALL WILL NOT ERASE FILES.
The AUTOEXEC.BAT file will be replaced with the backup file
"AUTOEXEC.CHK", which will be renamed to AUTOEXEC.BAT.

NO FILES OR UPDATING WILL BE COMPLETED.

See the INSTALL documentation for more information.

using any text editor.

See the INSTALL documentation for more information.
001312
FILE NOT FOUND!: [ERROR MESSAGE]

The file being looked for by Install could not be located on
the designated drive.  Check and make certain that you have
the correct disk in the designated drive, or you have entered
the correct source drive letter.

Please see the READ.ME file for what files are contained
on the distribution diskette.

Hit the <Esc> key to TERMINATE Install.
00149

Hit the <Esc> key when the drive is ready.
001610
AUTOEXEC.BAT ALREADY UPDATED!: [INFO MESSAGE]

PC TIMECHK 2.0 has already been added to the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file.  Install will not change this file.

This prevents TIMECHK.EXE from being added more than one time
to your "AUTOEXEC.BAT" file during multipal install runs.

Hit the <Esc> key to continue with install.
001717
OVERWRITE EXISTING PC TIMECHK 2.0.DAT FILE. [INFO MESSAGE]

PC TIMECHK 2.0 has found and existing PC TIMECHK 2.0 ".DAT"
file on the target Drive.  This may be due to reinstalling PC
TIMECHK 2.0.  If you wish to OVERWRITE the current file, press
or click on Y.  Hit <Enter> or N (the default) to bypass the
PC TIMECHK 2.0 source drive "TIMECHK.DAT" file.

When you select to overwrite the ".DAT" file, INSTALL will re-
name the current file using an extension consistin of the day
and last digit of the current year, e.g., if today's date is
May 14, 1993, then the file extension name will be ".143"
This "backup" file is not set to "read only" and can be deleted
or worked with easily.

See the INSTALL documentation for more details.
00308
SERIAL NUMBER MISSING

INSTALL requires that the Registration Serial Number be
recorded.  This number can be found on the Disk Label of the
original or Distribution Disk.

All 8 Characters MUST be entered.
003110
REGISTRATION NAME MISSING

INSTALL requires that the registered owner of PC TIMECHK be

file.

Any name can be entered up to a total of 35 characters.

Company name is an optional entry and need not be made.
004010
BOOT DRIVE

INSTALL must know which drive on your PC is used to "boot"
or start your PC.  This information is used by the install
program for locating the PC's AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  Under
normal conditions this is your C: drive.

If C: is not your "boot" drive, enter the letter that
represents that drive.
004116
DISK_ID HAS INVALID OR MISSING DISK NUMBER

The DISK_ID file found on the source diskette is bad or is
missing the number that identifies which disk is in the
source drive.  This file and disk number is required so
install can check the source diskette(s) for correct files.

Enter either "1" or "2" in the space provided on the error
window and hit <Enter>.  INSTALL will place this number on
the source diskette for future reference.  Therefore, do not
write protect the source diskette.

CRITICAL FILE MISSING! [ERROR MESSAGE]

INSTALL has reviewed the source files on the Source Disk and
has found that one or more critical files are not present!

                   INSTALL CANNOT CONTINUE

Locate the missing files and copy them on to the Source Disk,
or use your "backup" or ORIGINAL copy of PC TIMECHK as the
Source Disk.

See the READ.ME file for a list of needed and supplied
files.
00635
SERIAL NUMBER:

Please enter the eight character serial number found on the
Distribution diskette.  All 8 characters must be entered.
007018
 PATH TOO LONG!

INSTALL has determined that your "PATH" statement exceedes, or
will exceed the maximum length acceptable by DOS after the
addition of "[d]:\TIMECHK".  The "acceptable length" may vary
by DOS version or the reference material being used.

See your DOS manual for extending the Path statement.

       INSTALL WILL NOT MODIFY YOUR PATH STATEMENT

If you wish PC TIMECHK to be in your PC's PATH, you will need
to modify it manually.

PC TIMECHK will add the Target Drive and TIMECHK's path
to the calls within the AUTOEXEC.BAT file so PC TIMECHK can
be loaded automatically.
007510
NO AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE FOUND....PC TIMECHK WILL ADD

INSTALL could not find the AUTOEXEC.BAT file needed to prop-
erly setup you PC.  Therefore, one will be added for you
and will provide a PATH statement, a Special "Date and Time"
PROMPT statement, and TIMECHK as the called program.

Select Y (Yes) if you wish INSTALL to add this file to your
PC.  N (No) to bypass and continue.
008016
SOURCE DRIVE ENTRY ERROR

The Source Dirve letter you entered and confirmed is not an
acceptable entry.  You can run INSTALL from either Drives A:
to Z:, but MUST be a valid drive on your PC.

Regardless of the drive entered, ALL of the INSTALL programs
and required files must be found on the Source Drive named.
If not, INSTALL will not be able to locate its required
files when it does its "file checking".

It is always best to run INSTALL from either your Drive A or
from Drive B, and from the Distribution Diskette copy.

Press <Esc> to clear and continue with the installation.
008115
TARGET DRIVE ENTRY ERROR

The Target Dirve letter you entered and confirmed is not an
acceptable entry.  You can install PC TIMECHK 2.x on either
your "C" through Z" drives.  The Target Drive must be a real
drive located on your PC.

In most cases, your "C" drive is your only hard drive.  There-
fore, INSTALL defaults to "C:".  If you have a Drive D, and
you select it as your distination, INSTALL will place all the
necessary files on Drive D and setup you AUTOEXEC.BAT file
changes on C.

Press <Esc> to clear and continue with the installation.
008212
MOUSE ENTRY ERROR

The Mouse "Y" or "N" answer entered and confirmed is not an
acceptable entry.  Please enter a Y for yes or an N for No.

INSTALL does further checking of your answer by verifiying
your entry of YES by looking for the mouse.  If none is found,
INSTALL will inform you that it could not locate the mouse you
stated you were useing.

Press <Esc> to clear and continue with the installation.
008327
AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE UPDATE ENTRY ERROR

The entry made was not either a Y for YES, or an N for No.

INSTALL needs to know "one way or the other" on this question.

INSTALL can make several changes to your system's AUTOEXEC.BAT
file if you so wish.

INSTALL will check the length of the "PATH" statement and add
"[Source Drive]:\TIMECHK" if there's room.  As a general rule,
INSTALL will NOT add on to the PATH if it finds the path longer
than 125 characters in length.  Why?... even DOS has limits on
its "environment" space.  See "your" DOS version's manual for
how to extend you path's length and what the PATH statement
really does for the operation of your system.

INSTALL will add TIMECHK.EXE to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file so
by restarting (boot) your TIMECHK file will run automatically.

If your PC DOES NOT have an AUTOEXEC.BAT file, INSTALL will
give you the very basic of one that has a PATH statement and
a special "time & date" PROMPT command.  Of course, TIMECHK
is included in the file.

Press <Esc> to clear and continue with the installation.
008422
OVERWRITE OLD PC TIMECHK DATA FILE?

During the process of overwriting a current PC TIMECHK .DAT
file, the INSTALL program makes a backup copy of the the one
found in the \TIMECHK\TCDATA directroy.  To do this, INSTALL
places an extraction of the current date as the old file's
extension.  For example, if today is July 26, 1993, INSTALL
uses the day's date (26) and the last digit of the year (3) as
the backup copy's extension, or ".263".

However, during the process of making the backup copy, INSTALL
has found a file using the current date's extension.  You are
being asked if you wish to OVERWRITE the existing backup copy
or not.

A YES answer will cause the current TIMECHK.DAT backup file
to be erased and the "current" one to be placed as the backup.

A NO answer will keep the current backup.  The "to be replaced"
file will be OVERWRITTEN by the TIMECHK.DAT file found on the
Souce diskette.
009013
MEMORY ERROR!

INSTALL has detected that not enough memory is available to
copy the necessary files to the Target drive.  You will need
to terminate INSTALL and remove all memory resident programs,
(if any) that are currently running.

Once removed, try INSTALL again.

You may wish to copy all INSTALL files and their directories
on to a "startup" or bootable diskette and run INSTALL in this
manner.
