About Clinton Clock
========================
Clinton Clock is a fully functional clock... that runs backwards. In other
words, the hands rotate counter-clockwise with 3 o'clock on the left side and
9 o'clock on the right side. Clinton Clock uses the DOS time function for its
internal timekeeping routines and is therefore as accurate as your DOS clock.
Clinton Clock is compatible with both DOS & Windows. It comes with its own
Icon and .PIF file to facilitate Windows Installation. Clinton Clock will run
with either EGA or VGA displays.
There are three differences between the registered version & the unregistered
version.
(1) When you start the unregistered version, the screen will display a
registration reminder and ask you to press "Any Key To Go On".
(2) The unregistered version will only run for 10 minutes before the
registration reminder is displayed again. You can restart Clinton Clock
as many times as you like by pressing "Any Key To Go On," but each time
it will stop after 10 minutes of operation.
(3) The unregistered version displays the message "It's LATER Than You Think"
directly below the clock face. In the registered version, you can change
this message to whatever you like by including the desired message on the
Clinton Clock start-up command line. This allows Democrats to include a
message such as "Turning Back Republican Policies." Replubicans & Ross
Perot supporters can include messages appropriate to their current
political beliefs.
System Requirements
========================
IBM PC or compatible with 640K Ram, an EGA or VGA monochrome or color monitor
(color works best). Running Dos 3.3 or higher, or Windows 3.1
Installation & Operation
========================
Clinton Clock is a snap to install. Just unpack the archive file into a
convenient directory. At the DOS prompt, type CLINTON. That's all there is
to it. Windows installation isn't much harder. After unpacking the archive,
start up Windows from the Program Manager, pull down Files Menu, pick New
Program Item, pick Browse, use Directory Scroll Box to move to the directory
that contains Clinton Clock, pick CLINTON.PIF, pick OK.
When Clinton is registered, you can change the message displayed below the
clock face by adding your message to the start-up command line as shown.
CLINTON YOUR MESSAGE GOES HERE
^ this must be a space
Your message will be centered automatically. You can use both upper & lower
case letters, but Clinton Clock will convert your message to all upper case.
Clinton Clock represents a new class of software called "ProtestWare." Some
of the many possible uses for this kind of software are:
(1) As a "Screen Saver," during your lunch break at work...
(2) As a "Promotional" money raiser at political rallies
(Contact Automated Graphics Inc. for quantity discounts)
(3) As a "Protest Statement," send a copy to the White House or Congress
on a floppy disk. Use a Batch file to start-up the Clinton Clock with
your own "Slogan." (You may make as many copies of your REGISTERED
version for this purpose as you like. You have our permission!)
