  This is a copy of a setup disk for TimeSync 1.0.  TimeSync is a
visual basic (3.0 professional version) application that synchronizes 
the local PC clock with a remote unix host each time it is executed.  It 
utilizes winsock to connect to a Unix host's time port (37) and
then correct that GMT time using a preset offset (and daylight
saving time offset if enabled).

  I hereby release TimeSync 1.0 into the public domain.

HOW TO INSTALL:

  1. run setup (in this directory) - this should copy all required 
     files onto your harddisk.

  2. double click on the new timesync icon - this will bring up a 
     configuration screen since you will not have a valid timesync.ini 
     file.  If the configuratin screens reappears after you entered
     all your data, it is because your winsock could not resolve the name
     you entered for a timesync host.  Try again.  At worst, you may
     have to use an IP number for the hostname.

     Note - The delay option was put in for when one has many PC's
     that all use a cron-like program to set their clocks at the same 
     time each day.   This option's random delay of 10-41 seconds will 
     prevent the PC's from making their requests to simultaneously,
     so the timeserver is able to handle alot more clients.  Most people
     probably won't find this useful.

  3. you can then remove this directory containing the setup disk image.
     You may want to keep a backup copy on a floppy. 

  If you need to change the ini settings after timesyc is configured,
you can edit the timesync.ini file OR remove timesync.ini and rerun timesync 
to see the configuration screen OR double click the timesync icon when it is 
running (it stays on the screen for 3 seconds after it set the time).
