- 1. WHAT DOES IT DO?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ClockServer waits for some action on the file 'T:CS_DateTime' and then
- replaces it with the current time and date. Its main use is with ParNet and
- a machine that does not have a battery backed-up clock. On the machine that
- has a hardware clock you must run this server program and when you wish to
- transfer the date/time to the other machine you execute the 'GetDate' script.
- The script will ask the server to make another script file (RAM:T/CS_DateTime)
- that has the system time in it and then execute this.
-
- 2. WHAT DO YOU NEED?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- You'll need an Amiga computer (see compatibility list), with Kickstart
- 2.04 (version 37 or higher). You'll also need the ramdisk mounted and it
- must contain the 'T' directory.
-
- 3. COMPATIBILITY
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ClockServer will work on any Commodore Amiga, running on Kickstart
- 2.04 or higher. This includes the following: A500(+), A600, A1000, A2000,
- A2500/20, A2500/30, A3000 (16 MHz or 25 Mhz model). The program SHOULD
- work on any upgrades (based on the Amiga Development Guidelines, see
- Amiga ROM Kernel Reference Manual (Release 2): Includes and Autodocs,
- introduction) and future A4000-series.
-
- 4. HOW TO USE IT
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Just type 'Run ClockServer'.
