Alarm Clock 91/6/18
Julian Byrne

This small program allows time alarms to be set on a PC running MSDOS.
Why yet another reminder program?
- It's free and easy to use.
- Memory overhead is a tiny 352 bytes.
- Alarms can repeat hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly.
- Hundreds of alarms can be set with different alarm noises/tunes.
- 20 tunes and noises included and user can add new alarm noises/tunes.
- No memory wasting toy notepad/calculator facilities.
- Alarm sounding doesn't stop a running program.
- Works under windows 3 - it is faster but less flexible than "Calendar".
Why not?
- Can't handle "first/last Tuesday of month".
- Must exit, or shell out of, current application to silence an alarm.
- Not graphically oriented and doesn't use a mouse.
- Adding new alarm noises/tunes is tedious.
