SERIAL TIME INPUT / OUTPUT

BID ACCEPTANCE DATE EXTENDED TO ALLOW DELIVERY OF REQUESTED INFORMATION AND DELAYS ASSOCIATED WITH LABOR DAY VACATION SCHEDULE. DUE TO THE NUMBER OF QUALITY RESPONSES ALREADY RECEIVED, IT IS MY INTENTION ONLY NEGOTIATE ONLY WITH INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY CONTACTED ME. THANK YOU Company manufactures digital wall clocks that can interface with a PC or Work Station via serial (RS232) communication. We have been using a QBasic program that operates in DOS command mode to either 'SEND time" to set the remote secondary clock or "GET time" to set the PC DOS or Windows clock. EXE program was set to run with as minimized background screen and triggered manually in DOS and by third party scheduler or Windows Task Manager programs in Windows 3.1 through 98 SE. With most customers now running XP and higher versions of Windows our communication program is about obsolete. Word Doc of serial protocol is provided in attached ZIP and interested parties may request source code of current programs in QBasic. Will also consider an otional feature that would allow the same software to request accurate time from Internet and update the PC clock prior to executing the "SEND time" command. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
