	This  distribution  kit  contains  the  RSX-11M/M-Plus network time
coordination task source files.  This update removes a previous restriction
causing the time receiver task to run only under RSX-11M V4.0 or
RSX-11M-Plus V2.0 (or later) systems.
	To build the tasks, copy  the
distribution files into a chosen UIC and invoke the build command
file, TIMGEN.  The  command  file  is  reasonably  intelligent,
UIC-independent,  and  should  be  able  to  build the tasks with no
intervention.  If this is not the case (as may be true under old versions
of RSX), it may be necessary to
run the command file with the /-MC switch and build the task
manually from the produced build command files.
	Note the following:
.LIST
.LE
To use TIMREC on a requesting node, you need only RUN TIMREC.  It
emits appropriate status if something goes wrong.
.LE
The master node name in TIMREC is defined as NETTIM.
An alias for NETTIM ^&must\& be defined to reflect your network's master
node.
.LE
TIMSND, the server, ^&must\& be installed on the network master node.
.LE
TIMSND ^&must\& be made known to the network as a DECnet
object - see the source file for the command line.
.LE
This is SEMI-SUPPORTED, EXPERIMENTAL and PRIVILEGED software.
.END LIST
	If the TIMREC code is examined, a comment will be noted regarding
self-rescheduling.  This was not deemed desirable on the source system and
hence was not included.  Please do not contact the author regarding this.
	Suggestions and corrections are welcome - ^&in writing only\& -
at the address below.  Phone calls and in-person visits 
will be politely refused.
