ID LOGIC (R) World Time Clock for Windows by PRS Corporation
============================================================
(Shareware Version)
DON'T REMOVE OR ALTER THIS DOCUMENT. DOING SO VOIDS THIS LICENSE!
-----------------
Short Description
-----------------
The ID LOGIC (R) World Time Clock indicates the current time
in most timezones around the world and takes Summer Time
(DST) automatically into account (both in the Northern- and
Southern-hemisphere). In addition, the clock - which is fully
dynamic - indicates clearly the date division.
A Conference Time function allows you to ask the question
At what LOCAL time should I call city X to reach it at its
time Y? (DST is taken into account, so you must also give the date.)
Five separate multimedia alarms are provided for which are
remembered whenever you reboot Windows. These can be set to
activate (once, hourly, daily, weekly, etc.) either a beep
signal, a WAV file, a voice recording you can make yourself,
a MIDI sequence or an AVI video file.
Although a large number of cities are already pre-programmed,
you can define and position up to nine custom city labels yourself.
The ID LOGIC World Time Clock is also part (albeit in a more
rudimentary form) of the ID LOGIC Shortwave Simulator for Windows
which simulates the shortwave receiver of the (near) future which
will permit the automatic scanning for a station by name, language,
schedule and other attributes.
The ID LOGIC SW Simulator can be downloaded via the Internet from
the anonymous ftp site hk.net (shareware/prs/ID_SWxxx.ZIP).
It contains the schedules of the BBC World Service, the VoA,
and some of the other largest shortwave broadcasters.
ALL SCHEDULES WERE PROVIDED BY THE BROADCASTERS THEMSELVES.
By popular demand, the World Time Clock has been made into
a stand-alone application requiring less resources than
the full Simulator.
--------------------
Minimum Requirements
--------------------
The ID LOGIC World Time Clock for MS Windows requires the following:
- IBM PC compatible machine;
- MS Windows Version 3.1 or later;
- Microsoft (or compatible) mouse;
- Display minimum: 540x480 x 256 colors (64k colors preferred);
- VBRUN300.DLL in the /Windows/System subdirectory.
NOTE: If you do not already have VBRUN300.DLL, you can
download it with FTP from hk.net (look for VBRUN300.ZIP
in the /shareware/prs directory.)
Do this BEFORE running SETUP.EXE
------------------
Very Brief History
------------------
ID LOGIC is a scanning/tuning system which permits the user to
1) automatically identify any tuned-in station
2) scan for a station by station attribute such as format
(e.i. type of music), callsign, language, etc.
PRS started to develop ID LOGIC in 1986. The first product was the
ID LOGIC Module for AM/FM radio receivers for use in North America
(which is today - 1994 - on the N.Am market in several radios).
We have already licensed SONY, MATSUSHITA (Panasonic/Technics),
PIONEER, KENWOOD, ALPINE, SANYO, CLARION, JVC, and others.
You should see a whole bunch of ID LOGIC models hit the market in '95.
An AM/FM ID LOGIC Simulator containing most of the 14,000+ North
American AM/FM stations is also available as shareware from
the anonymous ftp server hk.net (/shareware/prs/ID_NAxxx.ZIP).
In 1993, ID LOGIC was integrated in the Radio Broadcast Data System
(RBDS) standard issued by the National Radio Systems Committee (NRSC)
on January 8, 1993. (This is the U.S. version of the European
RDS standard.)
Since 1992 we have been working with the BBC World Service and the Voice
of America to develop an ID LOGIC version for shortwave receivers.
This informal open consortium has since been joined by Radio France
Internationale, Radio Canada International and we expect it will soon
grow very rapidly. (Stay tuned.)
There, the idea is to permit SW listeners to tune to a station by
pressing at most two buttons (one for the desired broadcaster,
the other for the desired language). The consortium is conducting
tests to establish the best mode to automatically update the
in-receiver databases which form the basis of ID LOGIC.
