Yes. From the docs:
When BinkleyTerm starts to run it will normally compile two more
files it needs, BINKLEY.SCD and BINKLEY.DAY, using the information
you have provided in BINKLEY.EVT.
Note that each time an edit is made to BINKLEY.EVT (or to the
configuration file if events are listed there), the files
BINKLEY.SCD and BINKLEY.DAY should be deleted at a time when
BinkleyTerm is not running. When restarted, BinkleyTerm will re-
build its binary schedule file, which will in turn cause
BinkleyTerm to re-run the current event. This is normal operation,
and is necessary to allow BinkleyTerm to properly register the
schedule changes.
Note: To avoid all Forced events (such as daily maintenance, or
scheduled polls) being rerun when BinkleyTerm restarts, after
deleting BINKLEY.SCD as above, you should restart Binkley with the
NOFORCE command line parameter, then exit and restart it as usual.
This procedure will prevent the rerunning of all such Forced
events.
If you need the docs, I can make them available to you - email me at
