What is it?
~~~~~~~~~~~
Its a CLI Based clock program with many a difference! Instead of the
boring old "12:44:33" etc. It says the time how you would say it i.e.
"It's nearly half past two". This is not the only difference! The
Talking Clock (TClock) can say the time in 7 languages and even say
them in 'Elite' talk.
Features:
~~~~~~~~~
· Says the time how you would say it
· Very small (About 20/40K In total)
· Works with Workbench 2.04+
· Speaks in 5 languages...
· English
· Swedish
· Dutch
· French
· Gibberish (Weird English)
· Elite is modular so works with any of the languages!
· And a lot lot more!
Requirements:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Talking Clock (TClock) Requires....
Workbench 2.04+
ARexx server (RexxMast) running (It calls arexx commands)
About 4K of memory!
Usage:
~~~~~~
To use either type:
> TClock about
Or if you want to use it this instance without looking at the pretty colours
etc. =o) Type:...
> TClock <language|about> [elite]
where <language|about> is one of the following keywords....
English, Swedish, Dutch, French, Gibberish, About
[elite] is an optional parameter that when specified makes the output
language 'elite'. A weird type of language used by people who _think_
they are cool.
Another nifty little trick that Giorgos 'Gallant' Stagakis pointed out is
that if you type:
> TClock <language> [elite] >:SPEAK
It will speak the time in the language. Thanks Gallant! =o)
Future:
~~~~~~~
I hope to add the following features to future version(s)...
· Italian, German, Spanish (Want to help? Email me!)
· AmIRC and ChatBox Scripts so that you get the time on irc!
· Even smaller and faster routines
· Better Docs, I will sit down eventually and re-type these with an
amigaguide version.
