WinClock
--------------------
Version 1.01
by David A. Feinleib
Introduction
-------------------
WinClock is a digital clock for Microsoft Windows 3.0 that has the
following features:
- Display of time and date in many different formats
- Two alarms (which can be set for daily or only a specified date)
- Optional hourly "beep"
- Allows user to set date and time easily
- Optionally stays in front of other applications
Requirements for running WinClock
----------------------------------------------------------
- Microsoft Windows 3.0
- WinClock (WINCLOCK.EXE)
Running/Installing WinClock
----------------------------------------------
Please note that the following directions assume you are using a
mouse. If you are not using a mouse, please refer to your Windows
documentation for equivalent keystrokes.
1. Copy WINCLOCK.EXE to your Windows directory or another directory
of your choice.
2. Do one of the following:
Note: Option D is highly recommended over A, B, and C.
A. Click on "File" then "Run..." in the Program Manager menu.
Type WINCLOCK.EXE (including the path) in the "Command
line" edit box and click "OK". If you use this option,
you will have to do this every time you want to run
WinClock.
B. Click on one of the program groups in the Presentation
Manager (the "Accessories" group is suggested). Select
"File" then "New..." from the program manager menu.
Select "Program Item" and type WINCLOCK.EXE in the
"Command line" edit box. For example, you might type:
C:\WINDOWS\WINCLOCK.EXE if that was the directory into
which you had copied WinClock. When you want to run
WinClock, double click on the WinClock icon.
C. On the line that says "load=" in your WIN.INI file,
add WINCLOCK.EXE (with the appropriate path). For
example, if you copied WINCLOCK.EXE to C:\WINDOWS,
the line would say: load=C:\WINDOWS\WINCLOCK.EXE
This option will automatically run WinClock each time
you run Windows.
D. Do both B and C, which will automatically run WinClock
and allow you to run WinClock easily if you close it.
WinClock Options
-----------------------------
To bring up a list of options, click once on the WinClock
system box.
1. Help...
This will show a pop-up window which gives a short
description of the options.
2. Set Date/Time...
This allows you to easily enter the date and time. When
the window pops up, enter the correct date and time and
click "OK" (or press <Enter>). If you do not want to enter
the date and time, select "Cancel".
3. Alarms...
This allows you to configure one or both of WinClock's
alarms. To set an alarm: Click on the alarm you want to
set (Alarm One or Two). If you want the alarm to be on,
select "Enabled" (so that there is an "x" in the box). If
you do not want the alarm to be on, but only want to set it
for use at a later time, click on "Enabled" until there is no
"x" in the box. Enter the time in the edit box. (Note: you
must enter the time in 24 hour format). Select "Beep" to have
the alarm beep when it goes off or "Silent" for it to be
silent. Select "Daily" to have the alarm go off daily or
select "On date" and enter the date for the alarm to go off
on that date. If you want to, enter a note to display when
the alarm goes off.
4. Hourly beep
Select this option if you want WinClock to sound a short beep
and flash on the hour. A check mark will appear next to
"Hourly beep" if it is selected. To turn off the Hourly beep,
click on "Hourly beep". The check mark will disappear.
5. Preferences...
Preferences allows you to change how the date and time are
displayed. Select the options you want and click "OK". If
