TIMEON.DOC - for TIMEON.TOS
- Release #01, Version 1.00, On 01/01/92 -
TimeOn is a tiny, pretty self-explanatory program that tells you
exactly how long your machine's been on (at least since the last boot)
in days, hours, minutes, seconds, hundredths of seconds, and 5 millisecond
units, even if it has been left on for 8 months. It may not do much, but
it does it well!
This may be most useful for people who leave their machines on for
long periods, like BBS sysops or programmers running long calculations or
simulations - but others may find it useful to answer questions like,
"Have I really been sitting here all day?!"
Features that are not immediately obvious dept.: Pressing the space
bar will provide 'snapshots' of the running clock, if you want to use
TimeOn for benchmarking purposes, etc. Any other key will exit.
Note on what the clock really indicates: Depending on your version of
TOS, the clock may indicate when your machine last coldbooted (newer TOSes)
or warmbooted (older TOSes). Even with newer TOSes, a crash or other
abnormal boot may wipe out the system clock.
TimeOn is currently less than 1k, the size of one disk 'cluster', so
it's literally the smallest program possible! Don't worry about it taking
up valuable disk space.
[This may be the first program of 1992...]
