The Atomic Clock is the most accurate clock around. The program will even take into consideration the time it takes in getting the time to telling TBBS to make the changes in the time. I do not think you can get your TBBS system clock any more accurate using a TBBS application. PLUS with the Atomic Clock running in a ghost event you can be happy to know that the system time will not run astray. The Atomic Clock can be setup in a ghost event say, once a week (or if you have a better clock, once a month to call and set the time. I would suggest once a week. You can also run the program throught a menu option at will. A log file is kept to see how far off your system clock was each time the program runs. This program was kind of a trick to get to do what I thought a good clock setting program should do. I must have look at 2 dozen different DOS/Windows based programs before this one came to be. This program Requires TBBS v2.3, TDBS v2.3, InterChange v1.1 & Sysom v1.2. This program needs them all and we have not tested it with any earlier version other then what is listed above. 陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳賃陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳堕陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳 � Setup And Installation � 陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳珍陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳祖陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳 The Control file (Atomic.ctl) is as follows: 敖陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳� �Lines:4,7,6,5,3,2,1 � �UTC Offset:4 � �Registration:0 � �Path to USERLOG.BBS:C:\TBBS\ � � � �;----------------------------------------------------------------------------� � Please do not change the format of this file. � �Lines: is the available outgoing lines to use to call the atomic clock and � �get the current time. Example: you have 7 lines and like to use like 4 first� �and then want to use them backwards from highest to lowest enter � �Lines:4,7,6,5,3,2,1 � �if you want to use groups you can too.. � �Lines:64,63,62,33-61,1-32 � �UTC Offset: is your Time Offset from UTC.

To Call the program you need to use a MENU like the one below and in the file MENU#SET.CTL - if you have no other menu call #SET you can compile the menu in the MENU#SET.CTL (Making any path changes as needed). You can also cut and paste MENU#SET.CTL into your Main.SDL file. It is as follows: 敖陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳� �; � �; ************************************************* � �; * * � �; * Define Menu #SET * � �; * * � �; ************************************************* � �; � �Menu: #SET � � � �Entry: � �Key=^@ TYPE=200 Opt Data=d:\atomic\atomic /q � � � �Entry: � �Key=^@ TYPE=200 Opt Data=d:\atomic\atomic /q && READ � � � �Entry: � �KEY=^@ TYPE=12 Opt Data=2 � �; This Back up the path to TWO menus back. You may only need 1 � �EndMenu: � �; � The menu can be edited but the TWO calls to Atomic.tpg must be made. Since TDBS has this habit of exiting control when you use Interchange we must get ready and make the call the first time through, and the second we read the data and make the time changes. To Call the log viewer you would add the follow to your sysop menu or where you would like to be able to view the log. Entry: Priv=250 KEY=A TYPE=200 Opt Data=D:\ATOMIC\ATOMIC /q && VIEW Add a GHOST Event using the following information. See pages 5-15,5-16 of the TBBS User Manual if you have never added a Ghost Event. LINE=254 It does not have to be a line with a Modem to run the TPG It will call a line with a Modem as you define in the CTL file AT/ON When you would like to have the program kick in. Sun at 6am would be as good as time as any. TYPE=5 Calls a Menu Opt Data=#SET The Name of the Menu There are so many Ghost Task today that a lot of TBBS Sysops are using Ghost Managers. Add it as you would any other task in the program. We have test it with Ghost Manager by John Schachat and it works just fine. You can also add the Ghost Event to your TIMS.CTL file BUT let that be a last resource. I would suggest setting up a MENU Item on your sysop menu (Or one of them) to call this menu so you can watch it kick in and work to make sure you have everything setup just right before setting it on AUTO. Once it is on Auto, just sit back and you'll know that your clock is being check and set just right. I have not see what happens at the Atomic Clock during a Time Change but I would think that it would be fairly smooth. 陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳賃陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳賃陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳 � Other Options on TPG � 陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳珍陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳珍陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳 To VIEW the data in the log file, use the following format: Entry: Priv=255 KEY=V TYPE=200 Opt Data=D:\ATOMIC\ATOMIC /q && VIEW 陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳堕陳陳陳陳陳賃陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳 � DISCLAIMER � 陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳祖陳陳陳陳陳珍陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳 As author of this software, I take no responsibility for any damage incurred to your computer system from the use of this software.
