╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║        Symptom: `CONNECTED' is displayed, modem RD light flashes,          ║
║                  indicating incoming data, but nothing else happens.       ║
║                  Program `hangs.'                                          ║
║ Possible cause:  Noisy connection.  TimeSet will not process data garbled  ║
║                  by line noise and will wait for a clean string before     ║
║                  proceeding.  Versions prior to 4.00 would wait forever,   ║
║                  but Version 4.00 should terminate the call after 15       ║
║                  dirty strings are received.  If not, press backspace to   ║
║                  cancel call and return to menu, or press F10 to quit.     ║

║        Symptom: `DIALING' is displayed, but there is no dial tone, no      ║
║                  dialing, and no carrier.  Program hangs.                  ║
║ Possible cause:  Modem may be turned off, not connected to port chosen     ║
║                  during configuration, or improperly configured.  Chosen   ║
║                  port may be nonexistent/nonfunctional.  Exit and check.   ║

║     Switching Between Standard and Daylight Time       ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║  There are two ways to change TimeSet's configuration  ║
║ for standard time and daylight time:  (1) run the      ║
║ configuration program CONFIGTS.EXE and select either   ║
║ daylight or standard time; (2) toggle between standard ║
║ and daylight time at the opening menu of TimeSet by    ║
║ pressing T.  Either way, TIMESET.EXE must be on the    ║
║ current drive/directory or else its location must be   ║
║ indicated in the DOS environment by means of the DOS   ║
║ command, SET TSET=[Drive:\Directory].  If you plan to  ║
║ use TimeSet routinely, you might want to put the SET   ║
║ command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  (Note: the help    ║
║ screen file, TSET.HLP, should be kept on the same      ║
║ drive and directory as TimeSet.)                       ║

╟──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢

║    There are many brands of battery-driven RT clocks but, except     ║
║  for the AT CMOS clock, nearly all of them use the same clock chip.  ║
║  Nevertheless, each brand uses its own software to set and read      ║
║  the time and date, and no two manufacturers write their software    ║
║  the same way.  TimeSet Version 4.00 brings some order out of this   ║
║  chaos by using a single method developed by Tom Strickland of       ║
║  Alexandria, Va. to set most non-AT RT clocks.  The original soft-   ║
║  ware for your RT clock will have to be put aside, however, because  ║
║  it will return the wrong year after the RT clock has been set by    ║
║  Strickland's method.  To read your RT clock after it's set by       ║
║  TimeSet, you must always use Strickland's RTCLOCK.COM program       ║
║  instead of the clock setting/reading program that came with your    ║
║  your RT clock.  RTCLOCK.COM is included in the TimeSet package      ║
║  with permission of its author.  Please include it if you pass       ║
║  TimeSet along to others.  Thanks.                                   ║

║ configuration that you have an AT CMOS or other kind of battery-driven   ║
║ real-time clock, TimeSet will also pass the new time and date to the RT  ║
║ clock.  If Strickland's RT clock driver is installed in your system, it  ║
║ will automatically transfer the new time and date to the RT clock with   ║
║ no assistance from TimeSet (if the RT clock is not an AT CMOS).          ║
