Delayer (tm) version 1.0 for Windows 3.1x/95/NT
---------------------------------------------------------------
Copyright 1997 by Cottonwood Software All Rights Reserved
Thank you for trying Delayer!
Delayer has a simple function: to delay the execution of a program
by a specified number of seconds (up to 24 days!).
Why?
Primarily this is used for programs in the StartUp group (which
Windows runs automatically when starting) which don't operate
properly if executed immediately, or multiple programs that
need delays between them.
This can also be used to do basic automation of programs, or with the
'repeat' function could be used to run a task every hour, for instance.
Other use examples:
Pop up a periodic reminder to take a break (or get back to work!)
Periodically check E-mail, run diagnostics, etc.
Automatically log off after 8 hours (assuming you have a program
that will do that without user input.)
Run a sequence of programs on startup (instead of running them all
at once).
If you find other good uses, please let us know!
How?
Delayer can only be used by setting up a Program Manager icon (or
Start Menu/Desktop shortcut in Windows 95) to run Delayer with Command
Line parameters.
For usage details see the help file -- or simply run Delayer
(you'll get an error, and then the correct command line syntax
will be shown in the About dialog, along with a Help button).
How much?
Delayer is FREE! It is freely distributed "freeware". If you find
it useful or would like to see what other programs we have created,
please visit our web site: http://www.cottonwoodsw.com
Enjoy!
