PDScheme/Freetime/FreeTime/!FreeTime/!Help

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Version 1.01
~~~~~~~~~~~~

FreeTime is a simple program that uses the internet time protocol
(see RFC 868) to read the time from a remote time server.

Once the time has been read, it will compare it with the time on your
local computer. If the times differ by less than a specified amount,
(5 seconds by default) it doesn't set your computers clock.

If the times differ by more than a specified amount (120 seconds by
default), then FreeTime will bring up a window enquiring whether
or not it should set your computers clock. (This is to guard against
it setting the time to something totally wrong!)

Otherwise, it sets you local clock so that it agrees with the time
from the remote server, and brings up a window saying to - which
disappears either after 5 seconds, or when you click on it.

FreeTime quits once it has completed its job.

Configuring
~~~~~~~~~~~

All freetimes configurable options are changed by editting the
file '!FreeTime.Config'.

This is a text file, with the following format:

 All lines beginning with #'s are comments.
 All other lines are the options, with the format 'tag:value'

The tags are as follows:

Server  : This specifies which computer to fetch the time from - by
          default, it uses ntp.demon.co.uk, which is fine for demon
          customers. Other people should use a machine belonging to
          their internet service provider - you should contact them
          directly if you are unsure of its name.

MaxDiff : This is a time, in seconds. If the difference between the
          remote time server and your local clock is more than this,
          freetime will pop up a window asking whether or not to
          set the clock (providing the 'out' flag is set in the
          'Window' tag, below).

MinDiff : This is again, a time in seconds. If the time difference
          between the remote time server and your clock is less than
          this, freetime will not set your clock.

Timeout : Another time in seconds - this is how long to wait for a
          reply from the time server before giving up. If you have
          a slow link, you may want to increase this from the default.

Display : This specifies how long to display the information window
          for - the default is five seconds.

Window  : This is a series of words, specifying when FreeTime should
          display what has happened to the user. If the word is
          is listed after Window:, it means display 'this' to the
          user. The words are:

            transfer : Display window while fetching time from the server
            error    : Display window if an error occurs
            set      : Display window whenever time is set
            min      : Display window if difference between times is less
                         than the value set in 'MinDiff:', above.
            out      : Display a query to the user if the times differ
                         by more than the value in 'MaxDiff:'

          I'd recommend always having 'error' and 'out' included. I also
          include 'set' in my Config file.
