INTRODUCTION
------------
When Mustang Software shipped Wildcat! 5.0 (now known as WIN Server),
they apparently left out a command-line utility that was included in
earlier versions of Wildcat! known as wcWait (also known as the two
programs WAIT! and WAITFOR! in earlier versions).  The purpose of wcWait
was to allow you to pause a batch program for a given amount of time, or
until a certain system time.  Since the program is self-sufficient, it
is technically possible to run wcWait for batch processes that are being
used for regular maintenance of a WIN Server system.

However, there are some problems with wcWait.  The first is that it may
not be technically permissible to continue using a portion of the
earlier version of Wildcat! when moving up to WIN Server.  Another
problem is that wcWait would only be available to those SysOps who did
upgrade, and not those who acquired WIN Server as their first version of
the Wildcat! software.  Finally, wcWait was written for use in DOS, and
as (poor) luck would have it, it does not run well in the operating
system environment of a WIN Server system.  (At least, under Windows NT
the little wcWait program hogs all the CPU it can get.)

The answer to these problems is uWait32.  Specifically:

   1.  It is freeware and may be copied and distributed at no charge,
       subject to the terms of the license found herein.  There are
       no significant legal restrictions against its use.
   2.  Since it is freeware and can be posted to any BBS, FTP site,
       etc., it is readily available to all WIN Server operators,
       whether they upgraded from an older version or purchased WIN
       Server as their first.
   3.  It is a Win32 console application specifically designed to be
       "nice" -- that is, the CPU effect of running uWait32 is minimal.


LEGAL NOTICE
------------
By using this software on your system, you imply that you have read,
understood, and agreed with the terms of the license and the disclaimer
of liability and warranty as found in this document.  If you do not
agree with the terms as stated, you are required to immediately remove
all traces of the software (including executable code, documentation,
etc.) from all systems under your direct control.  The terms of the
license and disclaimers are not negotiable -- this is free software, we
have no incentive to haggle over terms of use.

In addition, all product, trademark, and servicemark names that appear
in this document are hereby recognized en masse.  The lack of an
identifying symbol is not intended to deprive the owner of any legal
rights.  Specifically, UniNova and uWait32 are trademarks of UniNova
Services Corporation.


INSTALLATION
------------
Simply extract the uWait32.exe file from the distribution archive, and
either place it in a directory that is part of your system environment's
PATH variable, or place it in another convenient directory.  (In other
words, put it where you want it...)  You might want to put it in the
"home" directory of your WIN Server system, if you only plan to use it
in conjunction with that package, or you can put it somewhere more
generic if you have other uses for it.


USAGE
-----
uWait32 employs a subset of the command line parameters available to
users of wcWait.  Specifically, options that relate to node status are
not provided with uWait32; also, the option to turn off the "twirly"
display is not given, as no such display is provided.  The command line
parameters flexibly supported by uWait32 are:

 /S:nn      (replace nn with the number of seconds that you want uWait32
            to execute)
 /T:hh:mm   (replace hh:mm with the hour and minute when you want the
            program to exit, using the 24 hour clock)

As is true with wcWait, you may hit a key to stop the program early, and
it will exit with ERRORLEVEL 1 (if you are unfamiliar with ERRORLEVELS,
you might wish to brush up on your operating system skills).  You may
also use the /? parameter as a reminder of the syntax, or simply run the
program without parameters to see the same information.

The parameters are as flexible as we can make them.  They are not case
sensitive (that is, /s and /S mean the same thing), and you may leave
off trailing zeros for the hour and minute.  The following examples are
representative of the ways you might run uWait32:

uWait32 /S:90          <-- Pauses 90 seconds and then exits
uWait32 /T:13:30       <-- Exits the next time the system clock
                           indicates that the time is 1:30pm
uWait32 /T:2:2         <-- Exits when the system clock reads 02:02
uWait32 /T:12:5        <-- Exits at 12:05 in the afternoon
uWait32 /T:0:10        <-- Exits ten minutes past midnight

If you have batch files that already use wcWait, you will want to edit
them to have them call uWait32 instead.  (Trust us, your system will
appreciate it!)  Be sure to remove any extraneous command line
parameters, as parameters other than /S, /T, and /? are not supported.


LICENSE
-------
You are hereby granted a non-exclusive, transferrable license to use the
uWait32 software (including executable code and all supporting files) on
any number of machines, provided that you comply with all terms of this
license.  If you violate this license, your license is permanently
revoked.  Under no circumstances may you:
    1.  Make modifications to any part of the software and
        subsequently distribute those modifications to any
        other party (person, organization, etc.); or,
    2.  Make attempts to conceal the true author of the
        software; or,
    3.  Sell the software as a discrete product, or charge
        a materials and/or handling fee solely for this
        software (noting that this does not prevent you from
        distribution such as including the software on a
        CD-ROM of other shareware and freeware applications
        that you subsequently sell); or,
    4.  Add, remove, or otherwise alter files in the distribution archive.
        Other than possibly changing the archiving format, the
        distribution archive you transfer to others must have the same
        contents that you received.
Other than these basic prohibited actions (which say, essentially, "give
credit where credit is due, and support the distribution of free
software"), you should feel free to use and distribute uWait32 as you
see fit.
