- Documentation for Menu Clock, Version 3.0
-
-
- What Menu Clock Does:
-
- Menu Clock puts the hour and minute permanently on the Macintosh screen,
- on the menu bar. It is designed to interfere as little as possible with
- the functioning of other software.
-
- How To Use Menu Clock:
-
- If you have "Menu Clock V3.0" in the system folder of the disk you start
- your Macintosh with, it starts itself.
-
- How To Not Use Menu Clock:
-
- If you tire of Menu Clock, you can remove it. The clock will go away if
- you move "Menu Clock V3.0" out of the system folder of your startup disk
- and restart your Macintosh.
-
- History:
-
- Menu Clock used to come as a ╥try it out╙ application program, and for $5.00
- I would send you the password to let you install it permanently. I think
- this new form of distribution will be more convenient for my customers.
- Menu Clock is still shareware. If you use it, you should pay for it.
- If you don╒t pay for it, you should not use it.
-
- Philosophy:
-
- Menu Clock does no drawing unless:
- (1) there appears to be a menu bar &
- (2) the application program gives menu clock permission to draw by giving up
- control to it by calling SystemTask(). All applications that support
- desk accessories call SystemTask(). (Under MultiFinder, MultiFinder
- calls SystemTask() for evereybody.)
-
- Menu Clock doesn╒t steal any mouse clicks. Some applications with long menu
- bars will wind up with menus under the clock. Those menus still work even
- though Menu Clock is on the menu bar. Menu Clock does not cover the Switcher
- and Multi-finder icons on the far right of the menu bar.
-
- Caveats:
-
- Menu Clock provides no way to set the time. You can do that from the Control
- Panel desk accessory of System 4.1 o newer, or with a copy of the Alarm
- Clock desk accessory. (Usually just at the start and end of daylight savings
- time.)
-
- One customer has reported problems with an earlier version of Menu Clock
- and the HyperDrive 2000, although Menu Clock works well on other, similar
- machines such as the Mac II.
-
- Menu Clock is shareware:
-
- If you use it, please send me $5.00 for a single CPU license.
- Site licenses, allowing you to run Menu Clock on an unlimited number
- of CPUs at a single location, are $50.00.
- If you use your computer for business, I believe that this license fee
- is a deductible business expense.
- Even if you don't use it, feel free to give a copy to a friend,
- But include this documentation file!
-
- To pay for Menu Clock:
-
- Send a $5.00 check, payable in U.S. funds, made out to MOSAIC CODES to:
-
- Menu Clock
- Mosaic Codes
- Suite 2140
- 2036 Shattuck Ave.
- Berkeley, Ca. 94704
-
- What you get for you money:
-
- Shareware is like public television: I depend on your support. Like
- public TV, you already have the product, Menu Clock. Only with your
- support can I continue to improve Menu Clock, and continue to write
- inexpensive, useful programs. I read every piece of mail sent to me,
- and respond to almost all of it.
