Expert MouseCLOCK 4 Linux
---------------------------


1) INSTALLATION
----------------
1.1) Log into your system as root and copy the binary "mc4l" into
     a folder on your hardisk.
1.2) Plug the "Expert mouseCLOCK" into an unsed serial interface.
1.3) Create a symblic link named /dev/mouseclock, whick have to
     link to the serial device you plugged the clock.
     (e.g. "ln -s /dev/ttyS1 /dev/mouseclock", if Com2 is the port
     you have chosen)
1.4) Create the logfile with the shell command "true > /var/log/mouseclock"


2) Figure out the receivers position
--------------------------------------
Start the program "mc4l" without comandline parameters.
The LED at the clock should now start to blink from green
to red on time per second, and "mc4l" should print out
either "0" or "1" on screen. It is important that
the clock is blinking very periodicly one time per second.
If your receiving properties are OK, after about three minutes
mc 4l should display someting like that :
DCF77 time is : Fri Sep 17 13:22:00 1999"
Are sou suffering ffrom a bad receive, so that such a sync
message does not appear, just try to reposition the receiver
and try avoid disruption fields, like monitors, motors and
devices like that.

3) Options
-----------
  -s : synchronize your systemtime permanently with the received
       DCF77 signal, if the differnece to you systemtime is less
       than 70 minutes.
  -S : synchronize your systemtime permanently with the received
       DCF77 signal one time, if the differnece to you systemtime
       is less than 70 minutes. After thar mc4l terminates.
  -f : Force synchronizing your systemtime with the DCF77 signal,
       ignoring any differences to your PC time.
  -q : tie off any output to STDOUT, so that "mc4l" can run in
       background. All outputs are redirected to the logfile
       "/dev/mouseclock".
  -v : print out the program version  


  The command line "mc4l -s -q &" will start the "mc4l" in background.
