IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW, THIS IS THE TOP OF THE FILE! (HE, HE, AM I FUNNY ??!!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
No. STOP. Let's get serious!! You just ran into something strange.
This is document file for DClock. It is short from my new program: Digital
Clock V2.0. What is it? It is just a clock window for WorkBench screen. It
is, unlike other digital clocks I saw before, window which can be resized
to any WB size you want.
It is fully written in Aztec C Version 5.0. It is really something
what am I proud of. It took me a long time before I put the last line into
the source code. I know that it isn't prefect (yet!), but I like it very
very much :-).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
To start DClock from the CLI, simply type
"DCLOCK"
into CLI window (don't forget to press <CR>!!). But if you start
it with:
"RUN DCLOCK" (or "RUNBACK DCLOCK or similar)
and you will be able to continue your work having DCLOCK on the
screen.
If you want to start DClock from WorkBench, just click on its icon
and DClock will run there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
To quit DClock, click on its CLOSE icon. You can, also, press the
<ESC> key when the DClock window is activated. In the menu you'll find
only a few infos.
DANGER: THERE IS ONE HIDDEN GADGET. You are, ofcource, able to
change the size of DClock window. Just click to the right-down corner of
window (there is this hidden gadget) and change it. Don't worry because
that gadget isn't shown - it's still there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Program history:
----------------
Version 1.0:
------------
The main routine DrawNumber() was very bad. As I change the size
of window it didn't take the right relative positions to display a digit.
So, I completely rewrote this routine. And version 1.0 became:
Version 2.0:
------------
Crazy routine is now removed and replaced with a new one. And it
deserves jumping for 1. Also, I changed about window and the colours so it
now looks much more better. Rewriten docs, too.
Future adds:
------------
* reading the time direct from the hardware, in cases you didn't run the
program SetClock
* iconizing, or better, hidding the clock, so that it could apper with
some conbination of keys
* filled digits
* a great option: sprite digi clock
* your suggestions
