Hello bootAble users,

Sorry for bothering you again this soon, but I’ve released another minor update to bootAble :-)
You can download it from our personal website: http://class='extlink'http://hrbaan.home.xs4all.nl/bootAble/

v6.8 (28/01/2012)

* Fixed |bootAble.firefox| for version >4 (Doug Bissett for the fix);
* Always checking JFS boot disk now (Doug Bissett for the tip);
* Added additional |gcc| library files (Doug Bissett for the fix);
* Added |MEDISKVOLUMELABEL| option to specify the name of the MEMDISK
image, defaults to |bootAbleMD| (Steven Levine for the tip);
* Determined |pnp.sys| as a |SNOOPFILE| (Steven Levine for the
investigating this).

Have a good time,
Hayo

Version 1.11 of the eComStation Clock Synchronization Utility (TIMESET) is now available on the BetaZone for Software Subscription Services members.

Changes since version 1.10 include:
 - A bug fix in loading the language-specific timezone database.
 - The Product Information dialog shows some additional information.
 - The ’Synchronize Now’ function now runs in a separate thread, and
 also uses whatever server and timezone settings are currently selected in the GUI (even if they have not been saved).
 - The program now checks TZ environment against CONFIG.SYS setting,  and warns if they are different. - The Japanese language file has been updated for the current version, with various improvements. (However, some messages remain in  English.)
 By default, TIMESET still uses Kai Uwe Rommel’s DAYTIME client as a backend. The WPI on the BetaZone includes version 1.20, which contains both problem fixes and functional enhancements by Steven Levine, Robert Blair, and myself. NOTE: if you use the default backend configuration file (program.def) without modifications, you must use this version of

DAYTIME. If you have an older version of daytime.exe which you prefer

to continue using, you must edit program.def and (in the uncommented section for DAYTIME) delete the contents of the ’basic’ parameter (or simply comment out the entire line).
 To enable the use of CLKMGR in place of DAYTIME, edit program.def
with your favourite text editor. Comment out (by adding a preceding
’;’ to each line) the entire section for using DAYTIME, and un-comment
the section for CLKMGR. The file should be readable enough for this
change to be pretty straightforward.

Version 1.10 of the eComStation Clock Synchronization Utility (TIMESET) is now available on the BetaZone for Software Subscription Services members.

Besides some significant cosmetic changes (including a new logo and icon provided by eCoSoft), this version includes some functional enhancements by popular request.

Most obviously, there is a new ’Synchronize Now’ button which you can use to do an immediate synchronization (using the configured backend).

In addition, I’ve made a number of changes to both the GUI logic and the backend configuration file syntax to improve support for Pieter Bras’s popular CLKMGR software.

By default, TIMESET still uses Kai Uwe Rommel’s DAYTIME client as a backend. The WPI on the BetaZone includes an updated version (version 1.20) with modifications by Steven Levine, Robert Blair, and myself, to both fix various problems and provide some functional improvements. NOTE: if you use the default backend configuration file (program.def) without modifications, you must use this new version of DAYTIME. If you have an older version of daytime.exe which you prefer to continue using, you must edit program.def and (in the uncommented section for DAYTIME) delete the contents of the ’basic’ parameter (or simply comment out the entire line).

To enable the use of CLKMGR in place of DAYTIME, edit program.def with your favourite text editor.
