In N5NJ's fine example of the CTSTART.BAT file, I would
add the dos TIME command like this:
REM CT Startup Batch File
TIME
COMTSR1 -RTS
COMTSR2 -RTS
CT -VGA -D SSCW97 %1 %2 %3
COMTSR1 -U
COMTSR2 -U
TIME
In this case, you will be prompted for the correct time when
CT starts and again after you are finished using the program.
Since I started using this method, I have not had to go back
and edit the first half of my contest logs!
