* * * My Timer * * *
By Luc Perrin
Version : 1.1
Date : 98/02/29
-------------
Introduction:
MyTimer is small program to count time spent on the internet.
I wrote MyTimer because there was no other program that did it
properly for AmiTCP. None of them could properly detect if it
was online.
MyTimer is EmailWare. Send me an email whether you like it or
not, or else ;-)
---------
Features:
- Uses very little memory
- Uses MUI
- Uses PPPinfo to detect if you are online
- Logging option
- Arexx port
---------------------
Command Line Options:
MyTimer <offline>
if you put offline, mytimer will not attempt to detect if you are online or
not and will not start active.
------
Arexx:
Port name 'MYTIMER'
logon - Activates the timer, starts a new log entry
logoff - Stops the timer, saves the log entry
openprefs - Open the prefs window, never tested, just there for fun
openlog - Guess ;-))
-------------------------
PPPinfo online detection:
What it does is look for the text 'INACTIVE' or 'OFFLINE' in the 1st 10
line of the pppinfo return text. Simple heh?
-----
Bugs:
None known. If you find some, email me at chysle96@cyberbeach.net

Future:

History:
Changes from 1.0 (97/12/19)
==========================
- perfected the precision of the timer. I was negligent in reading the
amiga docs and i found out that the amiga's builtin timers are not very
accurate. I now use a different algorithm to calculate timer. Therefore,
do not go flaming your isp on the account of my program. It *WAS* not
perfect!
- Changed the format of the log window a bit to match the format of the
log from my isp. Hope you like it.
- Made it possible to print the log window.
- Added an option of setting the time instead of reseting the clock.
