'Watch' version 1.0a copyright Alex Burmester 1997

--------------------

Watch is a simple program that fuctions as a high-end/up-market digital LCD watch.
It has for main funtions('modes'):

* Time(Normal Time)
* Alarm
* Timer(Like an egg-timer)
* Stop Watch

Independent of what mode the Watch is currently in, the time (hh:mm) is displayed in the blue
title bar. Also, the Date is always displayed just under the title bar.

The Alarm feature includes both an alarm that can be set for a specific time and a chime that
can sound every hour, on the hour.

A useful feature of WATCH is that it saves everything from one seesion to the next. The alarm 
time, timer time and stopwatch time are all saved. Also saved is whether these fuctions are on 
or off, meaning if a function was operating when you last closed the program, it will continue 
operating from where it left off.

--------------------

Setting:

In the modes:Time, Alarm and Timer, setting takes place by pressing the 'R' button, which toggles through the different parts of the display(eg. hours, minutes, seconds) and then pressing the 'L' button repeatedly until the value is as you want it.

--------------------

Sounds:

If you want to use your own sounds for Alarm and Timer:
* Replace ALARM.WAV and/or TIMER.WAV with your sound(s)
* Edit watch.ini under the [Alarm] and/or [Timer] heading, by
inserting the following keys:

SoundDelay=
SoundPlayed=

In SoundDelay, put a millisecond value(ie. 1000 = 1 second). This is
the time allowed for the WAV file to play(it should be larger than the
time the sound takes).

In SoundPlayed, put an integer for how many times you want the sound
played.

(ie.

[Alarm]
SoundDelay=1500
SoundPlayed=10

)

NB: The default values are for the sounds that come with the program.
