Notes on Time Zones


Here are some quick notes on using and dissecting TimeZones. It is a simple
app which shows you the current time in your choice of cities around the
world, in a little list window which you can keep up to refer to.

1) To add a new zone, delete one, or edit one, choose Change zones... from
the menu. Select and click the button of your choice. If you're adding or
editing, simply enter the name and the number of hours difference between
your Mac clock and the clock in that zone. For example, I live in Seattle:
therefore I put 0 hours difference in for Seattle, but for New York I put
in +3 hours to indicate that the clock there should be 3 hours 'more'
than mine in Seattle. That's all.

2) The combination of classes CNobject (named objects), CNameList (a list
which handles named objects), and CListBox (which presents list boxes for
named objects) is a pretty handy collection. Some of it is fairly old
now, and new classes could probably do the job better, but it works well
and consistently, and is fairly easy to use. Just see CODoc to see how
little needs to be done outside the CNameList.

3) If any of this seems worth a buck or two, I'd appreciate it, since I
would like nothing better than to clean up and upload a few more classes
which I've been working on, but need a way to support my avocation....

4) Note the many libs added with the strange names: xxxlib. These are simply
the ThinkC classes all compiled into libs. You can either add the individual
files or make up a set of libs - if you miss any, it'll let you know...
