*** Nag Me V1.00 ***
Introduction :
This is an incrediably small script and utility to insert into your
startnet script in AmiTCP. It is intended for those (like me) who
need to know when to come offline in order to keep the phone bills
down ;-)
The script waits for a defined time and then calls a program to open
a simple window to tell you to come offline. Simple, but effective.
Installation :
Copy the files NAG_ME.SCRIPT and NAG_ME to somewhere in your path, but
the best place is in AmiTCP:bin. Edit your STARTNET script and put
run >nil: nag_me.script
somewhere close to the start (it dosen't really matter where, but you
want the timer to go from the second you go online, right? ;)
Suddenly, when your time has elapsed, a small window will open in the
top left corner of the screen saying "Time Up!". See what I mean about
simple?
Configuration :
To change the timer, edit NAG_ME.SCRIPT and change the value on the WAIT
command. This holds the value in seconds for the timer. The default is
600 seconds (10 minutes).
If you want to _really_ configure it, just edit the PASCAL source (the
file NAG_ME.P) and change what you like. The code is reasonably well
written, I think.
Problems :
I haven't come across any problems on my machine, but my PASCAL compiler
doesn't know about public screens, so the window will open on the
Workbench screen unless your screen has the SHANGHI flag set. I use
MultiCX to do this, but any public screen utility will do.
Legal stuff :
This program is mine. I wrote it, and I still maintain copyright on it.
You are free to distribute it and modify it, but you cannot redistribute
a modified version. You can freely use a modified version if you wish.
I do not offer any warranty on this program, so any problems may encounter
while using it are not my responsibility i.e. If it formats your hard
disk - it's not my fault (although I can't see it happening :)
Notes :
If you like this program, send me an e-mail telling me so. I may get
round to making it actually do something usefull ;-).
If you write a super-duper does-everything-in-the-world timer from it,
I would appreciate a copy. Mail to the address later on.
Author :
I am an ex-high-school-soon-to-be-unversity student. I like the Amiga and
have been using it ever since the A500, and my setup now a 1200 with 14Mb
RAM, 650Mb HD and a 50Mhz '030. Quite a step from my old 1/2Mb 500.
E-mail me at : thomas_neill@metnet.demon.co.uk
but keep messages small. I check mail by telnet and it is slooooww. If
you want to send me a big message or file, warn me a couple of days in
advance!
Blatant plug :
Do you like manga? Read Appleseed? Then why not go to the pix/art directory
of Aminet and download the files APPLESEEDCOLOUR.LHA, DEUNAN.LHA and
HITOMI.LHA.
There we go, I'm done.
