- Short: CLI based stopwatch program
- Type: os20/cli
- Uploader: br103@city.ac.uk (Nick Ridley)
- Author: johnl@crash/cts/com (John Lindwall)

- Quick Description
- =================
-
- ShellTimer is a multitasking-friendly shell-based stopwatch program. It is
- useful when you need to measure the amount of time taken by an operation.
- With this simple shell command you can start a timer and later stop it; the
- elapsed time will be displayed.
-
- ShellTimer can be useful to time compile/link operations, renderings,
- program executions, script files, etc. Since it is shell-based, the
- command can be invoked from AmigaDOS scripts, from Arexx macros, from
- makefiles, or interactively.
-
- ShellTimer does not run from WorkBench.
-
- The ShellTimer system (which includes the programs ShellTimerDaemon and
- ShellTimer) is released into the Public Domain by the author, John
- Lindwall. I ask that the archive be kept intact with the docs and the
- source code. Bug reports should be sent to me at johnl@crash.cts.com or
- the address above.
-
- Source code is included. The compiler I use is SAS/C 5.10b. My editor is
- TurboText. My machine is an A1000 with 2.75MB RAM and an 80 MB hard disk.
-
-
- Requirements
- ============
-
- ShellTimer and ShellTimerDaemon require AmigaDOS 2.04. The programs make
- use of features specific to this OS version, including local shell
- environment variables, ReadArgs(), AllocVec(), CreateMsgPort(), and
- System().
-
- The programs could be modified to run under 1.3, but I don't have the
- inclination.
