DAYLIGHT.TEK

Information about changing the time to daylight savings: April 6, 1997

Note:
Changing to daylight savings time is easier than changing to standard time.
Since you are jumping ahead one hour, possibility of getting stuck in and
endless 1am - 2am loop does not exist.

To automatically change your system time:

Add a command cut to your library and title it AHEAD ONE HOUR or some other
clever title.  The contents of the command are:
[line 1] SYNC 2000
[line 2] SYNC 4000
[line 3] SYNC 0000
[line 4] TIMESYNC SERVER  (network users only)

Press VERIFY SYNTAX to make sure you typed it in correctly.
Press ACCEPT.

This command will set the clock to 2:20, 2:40, then 3:00, within the course
of 0.5 seconds.  The reason for the 3-step process is to avoid using a SYSTEM
dcl to call the DOS function TIME 03:00:00.

Schedule this command cut in one playback machine at 2am.

Create another command cut called SYNC TO SERVER and enter this command:
[line 1] TIMESYNC LOCAL

Create another playlist which will run in your remaining workstations in
pbk4 or some other unused playback machine:

TIMED EVENT AT 02:00:15    A
99992 SYNC TO SERVER       N

Load this playlist and push PLAY before leaving the station Saturday
night.

*****NOTE******
For network users using TIMESYNC, make sure you execute the first command
listed above from the workstation that updates your server so that the server
time will also be corrected.  If you are not using TIMESYNC, make sure you
update your server time Saturday night or Sunday morning by executing the
following command at the server colon prompt:
set time hh:mm:ss[a/p]
examples:  set time 11:30:00p
           set time 1:00:00a
