Description: (Clock.Exe - v 0.91 (TLCCLK01.ZIP))
This program displays the time (12 hour am - pm) and date in a window.
It remembers where you place it on the desktop and re-appears there the
next time you execute it. It also accepts and remembers fonts you drag
from the Font palette and drop on it's window. It will re-size itself to
accommodate the new font. The window, by default, will refresh itself every
5 seconds and will float to the top of all other windows, but will not grab
the focus from any other window. So, you can see it, but continue to work
in the application you wish. The timer routine is run from a separate thread
and so takes absolutely no resources, except during refresh, an interval
which you can choose yourself.
Installation:
Unzip the file (oh, you already did that or you wouldn't be reading this).
Copy (with an OS/2 program, or you'll lose the icon) Clock.Exe and Clock.Hlp
to any directory you choose. They don't care, as long as they are together.
Execution:
Type [ Start /f {d:\path\}Clock.Exe ] at any command line, or create a
desktop program object to start the program. The '{}' indicate that the drive
and path are optional depending on where you put the program, what's in your
path statement and what the current drive and directory are when you issue the
'Start' command.
The clock will first appear in the bottom left corner of the screen. You
may move it anywhere you choose. It will remember where you put it.
The program will create a file named 'CLOCKTC.INI' in the same directory
you executed it from. That's where it stores all the information about your
preferences. If you erase this file, the program will start over anew, next
time you execute it.
Press F1 for context sensitive help. It will explain all the options and
how to set them. A hint: double-click the clock window and a dialog box pops
up.
Cost:
This program is Freeware. It is 32-bit, thus requires OS/2 2.0+. It was
created with CASE:PM and the IBM C Set/2 compiler and Toolset. Please try it
and pass it along to your friends, if you like it. If you like it, or even if
you don't, drop me a note at one of the following addresses to let me know. I
love mail. Who knows, if you have a suggestion, I may even change the program!
