TechScheduler 95/NT is a highly configurable program and system scheduler
for Windows 95, 98, NT workstation and Windows NT Server.  TechScheduler
now comes with a powerful NT Service executable that provides all the
scheduling power from TechScheduler in an NT Service executable.

With TechScheduler you can:

- Schedule programs.
- Schedule WatchDog activities to keep an eye on your system.
- Schedule batch files.
- Schedule other Windows entities.
- Schedule Windows shutdown & system reboot activities.
- Schedule network logoffs, connections, disconnects and resource PINGS.
- Schedule File activities such as deletion, creation, copying & renaming.
- Automatically force programs close after specific minutes of operation or
  at a given time during the day.
- Schedule Emails to be sent automatically (with file attachments).
- Schedule unrelated processes to end.
- Schedule unattended FTP uploads and downloads
- Schedule Keystroke emulation jobs (sends keys to other programs)
- Schedule "Glue-it!" reminder notes.
- Schedule RAS dial-up networking jobs.
- Schedule Windows NT specific jobs to run REXEC and SU commands easily.
- Schedule VB script or Java script jobs.
- Keep Online Service (like America Online or MSN) connected by simulating
  activity!!

TechScheduler's flexible scheduling allows for jobs to be scheduled in a
variety of different daily, weekly, monthly and ad-hoc fashions, including
on demand.  Times can be scheduled to occur throughout the daily, at a given
point each hour or during ad-hoc times you specify.

Each job can invoke another TechScheduler job when it is complete or it can
invoke a Windows program when complete. You can test whether jobs were
successful or failed and invoke different jobs or programs depending on the
result.  You can build circular or recurring jobs or jobs that invoke other
job streams.  There is also an option to have failed jobs automatically
retry themselves after a given interval.

Jobs can automatically notify email addresses of their success or failure,
both MAPI and SMTP email is embedded in the program.

With a published powerful API and examples, you can use TechScheduler as
part of your development projects.

TechScheduler provides mainframe scheduler capabilities on your Windows 95/NT
system.

Version History
===============

v2.70 7/27/99
 1. Added new email option - CUSTOM EMAILER. Allows you to specify a command
    line emailer to use for job notifications and regular email jobs. For 
    example to use "NET SEND" this would work.
 2. Corrected problem with network PING not working in jobs.
 3. Corrected problem in FTP not retrieving files from certain types of FTP 
    servers.
 4. Corrected bug in Email job that was not allowing a mix of message body 
    and text from a file.
 5. Corrected bug in MAPI email job handler that was not utilizing message 
    body correctly.
 6. Added FTP Logging to GET operations.
 7. Added option in CONFIGURATION to allow you specify the time the daily 
    Start-of-Day will run. This allows users with mission critical midnight 
    tasks to run Start-of-Day later.
 8. Added option in CONFIGURATION to specify a system wide job suspension 
    daily time and duration, ie: 12:30 am for 15 minutes. This provides a 
    mechanism to ensure jobs will not run during backups, etc..
 9. Added button on Keyboard emulation job to refresh the WINDOWS and CLASSES
    lists without having to exit the job.
10. Corrected bug on Keyboard emulation job where CLASSES was being written 
    to the WINDOWS dropdown list.

v2.62 7/15/99
 1. Workaround for MultiProcessor NT bug where GUI was not appearing. Logged
    issue with Microsoft as bug is with low-level threaded timer code hanging
    only in multiprocessor environment.
 2. Added /MULTIPROC command line option which prevents the threaded time 
    code from being executed in case multiprocessor bug still appears.
 3. Corrected Range Check Error for Windows NT REXEC and SU jobs.

v2.61 7/8/99
 1. Corrected bug in EMail job where it was reporting error "SMTP Server not
    selected" even on MAPI jobs.
 2. Added process to delete jobs from API or remote job update without the 
    deletion confirmation prompt.
 3. Corrected bug in watchdog job entry form that was not saving or updating 
    job tests correctly. 
 4. Added "passive", "host system type" and "resolve names" options to the 
    FTP job.
 5. Updated keyboard emulation job to fix "windows" and "class" list and 
    control items retrieved.
 6. Replaced system icon tray with updated component using imagelist for icon 
    updates.
 7. Removed capability to run script jobs from the NT Service, this seems to 
    be a microsoft problem which we will try to workaround however we get an 
    OLE error which translated to the runtime 217 error that was reported.
