| NAME: CLOCKON |
| FUNCTION: Screen Resident Clock |
*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*
A rewrite and expansion of the original CLOCKON program. This TSR program
places the current time of day in the top right hand corner of the screen
and updates it every second. This version corrects some serious bugs in the
original version, including detection of correct screen mode (it will not
write if the screen is in any graphics mode or 40 column mode) and allows
the alarm mode to continue to operate even if the clock is not actually
enabled. CLOCKON can now have up to 9 presettable alarms, and they can be
examined, added or cleared at any time. The first use of CLOCKON will
install it. Further uses operate on the TSR copy. To examine various
options, type CLOCKON ? at any time. Options include extending alarm sounds
and enabling or inhibiting the clock display. Simply typing CLOCKON will
show the status of the TSR and all currently set alarm times.
Usage: CLOCKON [+|-] [*] [x] [hh.mm .... ]
Options for clockon are:
+ Enables the clock display in the top right corner of the screen
- Inhibits the clock display but still allows alarms
* Clears all current alarms
x Extends the alarm times by 50% to cater for various CPU clocks
hh:mm Up to 9 alarms may be set or added at any time
Typically, AUTOEXEC.BAT would contain the initial definition of CLOCKON and
set some default alarms and the alarm time. e.g. on a PC/AT it may take the
form:
CLOCKON + * xx 12:00 18:00
This would enable the display, clear all alarms, set the alarm time to 225%
(ie. 150% * 150%) of the default and insert two alarms. Further alarms can
be added (up to the maximum 9 alarms) at any time. e.g. CLOCKON 20:30
WARNING: There is a known minor inconsistency with MS WORD V5 - CLOCKON
still works but WORD uses some of the TSR stack. However, the programs do
not cause any damage. This problem is still being investigated.
