		 The System timer update service - UPTIMER
				version 4.10

	PURPOSE:  Programs that use the timer interrupt, such as action games,
 resident utilities - as well as my utility BREMZE - and PCs running in APM
 energy saving mode, can cause the system timer to lag behind the real-time
 clock.  UPTIMER corrects any such time discrepancy by updating the system
 timer from the real-time clock every second, thereby ensuring that the system
 timer and the real-time clock remain in synchronism.


	SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:  UPTIMER runs on IBM PC ATs, XT-286s and Conver-
 tibles under operational system MS-DOS.


        DISTRIBUTION:  UPTIMER is shareware and may be used free of charge for
 one month and distributed without restriction (but only with all of the
 enclosed files). If you want to continue using the program you have to
 register. Registration fee is $10 for private users and $20 for organizations.
 Please see the file REGISTER.HOW for detailed information. It is forbidden to
 modify the program code or utilize the program in any manner whatsoever for
 commercial purposes without the prior authorisation of the author.


	INSTALLATION:

 Syntax: UPTIMER [/t] [/p] [/f] [/l]

	/t - don't check machine type.
	/p - don't check the CMOS battery power.
		Before installation UPTIMER checks for the presence of ATs,
		XT-286s or Convertibles and CMOS battery power.  However, if
		you have any other type of PC that UPTIMER works with, you
		may disable this option.

	/f - don't install Latvian font.
		I load four Latvian letters into video memory to enable my
		name and that of my city to be displayed in my native tongue.
		However, if you feel that this feature spoils your pseudo-
		graphics or clashes with your national character set, you may
		disable this option.

	/l - don't draw lines.


	UNINSTALL:  The memory used by UPTIMER may only be released if no other
 resident programs have been installed after UPTIMER. Should any other resident
 programs have been loaded subsequently, however, then they must first be remo-
 ved before UPTIMER can be uninstalled.

 Syntax: UPTIMER /u [/f] [/l]

	/f, /l see above...
