README.CLK 10/90
SWEETDOS.ZIP is a set of files which display an animated, old-fashioned wall
clock in full color. The program requires an IBM-PC or compatible with a VGA
display. A high-speed 286 or 386 machine with a RAM disk cache is recommended
for good quality animation. SWEETDOS including all image files is Copyright
1990 by Dick LeVitt. Permission is granted to copy, distribute, and use
SWEETDOS for personal enjoyment at no charge. However, if you wish to include
all or a portion of SWEETDOS files or images in programs of your own, please
contact:

The SWEETDOS package includes:
CLOCKWRX.EXE The program to display and run the clock.
MAINSPRG.EXE A utility program called by CLOCKWRX, not run by user.
README.CLK This file.
CLOCKST.FLI The initial clock image.
CLOCKFWD.MDF Forward pendulum animation.

To operate the clock:
1) Transfer the package to a hard disk directory of your choice and
unpack using PKUNZIP.
2) From your chosen directory, type: "CLOCKWRX".
3) Set the time-of-day using the left and right arrow keys. The
'day' icon will indicate time settings between 12 AM and 12 PM,
complemented by the 'night' icon for times between 12 PM and 12
AM. Press ALT-T to set your system clock to the new time or ESC
to return the clock to normal operation with no change in setting.
4) Press ALT-S if you'd like to hear a ticking sound, ALT-S again
for silence. Note: the clock has no chime.
5) ESC from the main menu will return you to DOS.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
SWEETDOS makes extensive use of modified Autodesk Animator FLI files. Hats
off to Autodesk for creating Animator...rarely has an an application given me
so many hours of pure fun! Hats off too for FLI.LIB by Dancing Flame. A
variation of Dancing Flame's FLI player helped make SWEETDOS possible.
