TechScheduler 95/NT is a highly configurable program and system scheduler
for Windows 95, Windows NT workstation and Windows NT Server.  TechScheduler
now comes with a powerful NT Service executable that provides all the
scheduling power from TechScheduler in a 300k 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.
- 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.

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

To Uninstall:
          Using Windows "Control Panel", select the Add/Remove Programs
          icon.  From the list of installed applications select TechScheduler
          and proceed with the automated UnInstallShield procedures.

** What is your incentive to register? There is now an annoying splash
   screen that appears when starting the unregistered version as well as
   the word <unregistered> generously placed througout the program. We had
   to add these features since we were getting lots of support calls from
   people who had not registered. In other words, you get support when you
   register! **

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

v2.50 4/6/99
 1. Added new ZIP/UNZIP job type. Integrated capability to zip and unzip
    files. Routines to search hard drive for new files and build complex
    zip archives.
 2. Added remaining job actions from the toolbars to the JOB menu for 
    consistancy.
 3. Added delete job confirmation dialog.
 4. Modified all new jobs to default to "On Demand" instead of scheduled 
    so that jobs can be tested first without invoking the scheduler.
 5. Added BAT,CMD and *.* for the program job file browse dialog.
 6. Removed right click showing "Open" and "Exit' menu.
 7. Added better visibility for jobs running by putting comment on the

v2.44 2/28/99
 1. Corrected bug in FTP Browse for target directory that was not showing
    directories correctly on some systems.
 2. Corrected bug in Config form that was not saving checked setting for 
    "Delete job only if successful".
 3. Added "Delete Job after complete" logic to non-Program type jobs 
    (ie: file, ftp) so that jobs will delete if flag is set.
 4. Added check to see whether scheduler files exist before trying to read
    from them. 1 less GPF!
 5. Corrected memory leak associated with CREATEPROCESS calls where the 
    thread handle wasn't being freed using CloseHandle.

 1. Corrected bug in FTP Browse that was giving 'Unable to connect to /'
