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 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.
- 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.

The help file is embedded into TechScheduler. This makes TechScheduler highly
transportable.

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
===============
v1.82 12/03/97
 1. Added new job status: PAUSED. Each job has the option to Pause job if a
    failure occurs, this will prevent the next schedule for this job from
    kicking off.
 2. New option on main screen to "Clear Paused Jobs". This will ask you to
    enter a name, ID or comment that is logged in order to clear a paused job.
 3. Rewrote Debug logic based on multi-user requests. If Debug logging is on
    then the log window splits into 2 parts, the standard log and the debug
    log. Log entries are written to seperate log and debug files.
 4. The standard log is now a multi-column listview where it can be sorted by
    clicking on the column headers.
 5. Added the state images to the main schedule list. different image for
    waiting, demand, complete, active, hold and paused states.
 6. Corrected bug where "Hold" button was running the job as demand.

    correctly.
 8. Added code to invoke retry attempts, Pause job and notifications if a job
    fails during pre-start activities.
 9. Added control on "Post-Job" form to allow user to select minutes or seconds
    on retry attempts.
10. Added new option on "Setup" form "Timer" tab to disable the timers
    completely so that only job entry & modification takes place, no timer
    activity at all.
11. On Email Notification form, reworked options for notification on success 
    and failure and allowed separate message for success or failure.
12. Made remaining forms appear on screen center instead of partway off the 
    screen depending on resolution. (calendar, schedule).
13. Added options to "Setup" form under the "Startup" tab to let you specify a
    startup delay. This will stop the job timer from kicking off for x minutes
    after TechScheduler has been started. Updates Status line with countdown of
