<CENTER><B><FONT SIZE=5>XNTP Release for Windows NT</FONT></B></CENTER>
<P>
<CENTER><FONT SIZE=2>----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<BR>
</FONT></CENTER>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>This is an unsupported release, for assistance from
other users, post to the UseNet newsgroup: <I>comp.protocols.time.ntp</I></FONT>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>There will eventually be documentation with this
release, in the file NTPOG.WRI. It is Windows Write format. <BR>
</FONT>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>To update to a newer version, run the setup program
again.<BR>
<BR>
</FONT>
<P>
<U><FONT SIZE=5>Building XNTP for Windows NT<BR>
</FONT></U>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>Requirements:</FONT>
<UL>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>Latest InstallShield SDK for Windows NT 4.0 support</FONT>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>Perl5 for Win32 from http://www.perl.hip.com
or your favorite place</FONT> <BR>
</UL>
<P>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>First off there are two options for installing. </FONT>
<UL>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>Graphical <B>InstallShield SDK</B> based installation
process (needs to be updated to reflect the new directory structure)</FONT>
<LI><B><FONT SIZE=2>Batch file</FONT></B><FONT SIZE=2> for installing
the executables (always works)</FONT> <BR>
</UL>
<P>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>The software is known to work on Windows NT 3.5,
3.51, and 4.0. However, the latest version of the InstallShield
SDK must be installed in order to support a graphical install
on Windows NT 4.0. <BR>
</FONT>
<P>
<CENTER><FONT SIZE=5>Windows 95 is not supported.<BR>
</FONT></CENTER>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>To compile the sofware you have two options</FONT>
<OL>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>Debugging version</FONT>
</OL>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>Run <B>blddbg.bat<BR>
</B></FONT>
<OL>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>Nondebugging version</FONT>
</OL>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>Run <B>bldrel.bat<BR>
</B></FONT>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>Either of these will compile the entire package,
placing the executables into the <I>scripts\wininstall\distrib</I>
directory. After which the graphical installer will be built.
<BR>
<BR>
</FONT>
<P>
<U><FONT SIZE=5>Batch Install<BR>
</FONT></U>
<P>
<I><FONT SIZE=2>scripts\wininstall\distrib\install.bat<BR>
</FONT></I>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>NOTE: You will now have to modify the configuration
files installed by the install.bat program and also the ntp.conf
file (config file) installed in the WinNT home directory. <BR>
</FONT>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>****YOU MUST ****** modify the directory line in
the ntp.conf or ntp.ini</FONT>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>(it will accept either name)... and change the single
slash to double slashes</FONT>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>ie. <B>c:\winnt\ntp.conf</B> becomes <B>c:\\winnt\\ntp.conf
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
</B></FONT>
<P>
<U><FONT SIZE=5>Graphical Install<BR>
<BR>
</FONT></U>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>If you currently have XNTP on this machine (any older
version that was NOT installed using this GUI) you must STOP NOW,
and REMOVE IT from your system before running this install program.
There is no way to easily do this automatically.<BR>
</FONT>
<P>
<I><FONT SIZE=2>scripts\wininstall\intel\disk1\setup.exe<BR>
<BR>
</FONT></I>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>This installation program will create what it thinks
are sensible defaults for the configuration files for XNTP. If
you have a tricky setup, let it finish, then go back and stop
the service (try the control panel applet) and edit the configuration
files. The files will all be in the Windows System directory (default
is %windir%\) and will be named as follows:</FONT>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>ntp.conf - the NTP configuration file.</FONT>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>ntp.drift - the NTP drift file<BR>
<BR>
</FONT>
<P>
<U><FONT SIZE=5>Other Batch Files</FONT></U>
<UL>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>mkdist.bat - To package binaries for in a ZIP
archive.</FONT>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>mksrc.bat - To package source, excluding files
specified in the "excludes" file.</FONT>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>scripts/wininstall/build.bat - Creates GUI installer,
must be modified to reflect InstallShield source directory.</FONT>
<BR>
</UL>
<P>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>There are some important notes concerning the InstallShield
SDK You must modify the build.bat file to change the InstallShield
source directory, and you must modify the <I>setup.lst</I> to
reflect the full pathnames based on where you are building the
software.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
</FONT>
<H2>ANNOUNCE: Enhancements to the Windows NT port of XNTP <BR>
</H2>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>This set of changes fixes all known bugs, and it
includes several major enhancements.</FONT>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>Many changes have been made both to the build environment
as well as the code. There is no longer an ntp.mak file, instead
there are two batch files bldrel.bat and blddbg.bat file that
will build the entire source.</FONT>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>Perl5 for Win32 is required, but is easily available
from the NT Resource Kit or from the Internet at <I>http://www.perl.hip.com</I>.</FONT>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>The multiple interface support was adapted from Larry
Kahn's work on the BIND NT port. I have not been able to test
it adequately as I only have NT servers with one network interfaces
on which to test.</FONT>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>Enhancements:</FONT>
<UL>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>Event Logging now works correctly.</FONT>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>Version numbers now work (requires Perl during
build)</FONT>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>Support for multiple network interface cards
(untested)</FONT>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>NTP.CONF now default, but supports ntp.ini if
not found</FONT>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>Installation procedure automated.</FONT>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>All paths now allow environment variables such
as %windir%</FONT>
</UL>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>Bug fixes:</FONT>
<UL>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>INSTSRV replaced, works correctly</FONT>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>Cleaned up many warnings</FONT>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>Corrected use of an uninitialized variable in
XNTPD</FONT>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>Fixed ntpdate -b option</FONT>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>Fixed ntpdate to accept names as well as IP addresses</FONT>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>Fixed problem with "longjmp" in xntpdc/ntpdc.c
that</FONT>
</UL>
<MENU>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>caused a software exception on doing a Control-C
in xntpdc.</FONT>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>A Cntrl-C now terminates the program.</FONT>
</MENU>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>See below for more detail:</FONT>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>Note: SIGINT is not supported for any Win32 application
including Windows NT and Windows 95. When a CTRL+C interrupt occurs,
Win32 operating systems generate a new thread to specifically
handle that interrupt. This can cause a single-thread application
such as UNIX, to become multithreaded, resulting in unexpected
behavior.<BR>
</FONT>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>Possible enhancements and things left to do:</FONT>
<UL>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>Reference clock drivers for NT (at least Local
Clock support)</FONT>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>Control Panel Applet</FONT>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>InstallShield based installation, like NT BIND
has</FONT>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>Integration with NT Performance Monitor</FONT>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>SNMP integration</FONT>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>Fully test multiple interface support</FONT>
<BR>
</UL>
<P>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>Known problems:</FONT>
<UL>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>bug in ntptrace - if no Stratum 1 servers are
available,</FONT>
</UL>
<MENU>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2>such as on an IntraNet, the application crashes.</FONT>
</MENU>
