Alarm Clock version 2.6
Version 2.0 and later of Alarm Clock has all the screens
moved into an external file named ALRMCLK2.DLL.
This is so that future versions may be
developed in other languages than English. I would be happy to exchange
a program license for translations of the message text and help files.
If you are interested in an exchange please contact Bryan Walker,
(901) 683-3770, Compuserve 70304,2705.
Also with version 1.8 the event handler has been placed into its own
thread to improve response when launching applications or Beeping on
the hour.
To run Alarm Clock rename the appropriate language version of the .DLL
files to ALRMCLK2.DLL and place it in a directory in your LIBPATH= statement.
This can be found in your CONFIG.SYS file. Also place DBPROCS.DLL in a
directory in your LIBPATH. Rename the appropriate language .HLP file
to ALRMCLK2.HLP and place it in a directory in the SET HELP=
statement from your config.sys. Finally to use view for the INF file
either rename it or start view with the language named file.
Acknowledgements
Thanks to Rick Papo for the Spanish translation and Dirk Vandenbossche
for the Dutch translation.
