WorldTime for Windows (Version 1.0 - 9/1/91 release)
Documentation
Introduction
------------
WorldTime for Windows is an easy-to-use worldwide clock utility that
runs within the Microsoft Windows 3.0 environment. WorldTime displays
the current local time, Greenwich Mean Time, and the time in each of the
five continental U.S. time zones. In addition, two user-selected
controls display the current time in any of over 100 locations around the
world. Finally, a user-defined control allows time display for a
completely user-customizable location. All configuration settings can be
saved so as to be in effect each time the program is run.
(Microsoft and Windows 3.0 are registered trademarks of Microsoft Corp.)
Program Files
------- -----
The WorldTime package consists of three files: WTIME.EXE, WTIME.INI,
and WTIME.TXT. WTIME.EXE and WTIME.INI comprise the program itself;
WTIME.TXT contains program information, notes, and a registration form.
WTIME.EXE obtains configuration information from WTIME.INI each time the
program is run, and writes any changes in your configuration to WTIME.INI
each time you exit the program. For this reason, both files should be
stored in the same directory when running WorldTime from a hard drive.
Program Notes
------- -----
WorldTime for Windows requires Microsoft Windows 3.0. Although WorldTime
runs acceptably on systems equipped with EGA or Hercules graphics, we
recommend the higher resolution available on a VGA (color or mono) system.
WorldTime's relatively low memory overhead and modest screen refreshes make
its performance satisfactory on virtually any computer capable of running
Microsoft Windows 3.0.
WorldTime Configration
--------- ------------
Setup and configuration for WorldTime is fairly straightforward. The
most important thing to do BEFORE running WorldTime is to make sure your
computer's system clock (DOS TIME) setting is accurate. This can be done
from the DOS prompt with the "TIME" commmand, or within the Microsoft
Windows environment via the Control Panel.
For WorldTime to function correctly, your local time zone must be selected
(active) in the Local Time Zone list box control. Once this is done, all
WorldTime calculations will be based on your computer's system clock,
relative to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This selection need only be made
once (assuming your computer is not moved to a different time zone).
Once configured, WorldTime displays your local time, Greenwich Mean Time,
and the current time in the five major continental U.S. time zones. Two
User-Selected drop-down controls allow you to display the current time in
any of 110 locations around the world. A third control is completely
User-Defined, allowing you to enter a custom location of your own choosing.
Time setting in the User-Defined Location is controlled by the horizontal
scroll bar (which may be blanked by setting to the extreme left position).
All configuration settings, including local time zone, User-Selected and
User-Defined locations and times, is saved into the WTIME.INI file when
you exit WorldTime.
Note: Changes in your configuration will ONLY be saved to the WTIME.INI
file if you exit via the File-Exit menu bar selection. Closing WorldTime
by double-clicking the control button in the upper-left corner (or using
the Alt-F4 key combination) will exit the program WITHOUT saving any new
settings.
