LTClock - The Little Title Bar Clock that COULD!
Version 0.3 by Leo Comitale (comital@ecf.utoronto.ca)
====================================================================
LTClock is a simple program to put the time and date in the active
window's title bar.
LTClock 0.3 features CSET 2.0 (*) style localization.
INSTALLATION:
=============
Use Info-Zip's Unzip to extract this archive to any directory.
(If you use PKUNZIP, you will not get the extended attributes of
LTCLOCK.EXE, and you'll lose my nifty new ICON! Fortunately
I've included it with the archive so you can reassociate it.)
Create a program object (or CNTRL-SHIFT-DRAG LTCLOCK.EXE, for a
shadow of the executable) and place it in your startup folder.
You can then open the settings and optionally add the following
switches to the PARAMETERS section:
===================================================================
-U<nnnnn> Set the update frequency in seconds. (DEFAULT=60 or 1 min)
The maximum value for this option is 3600 seconds or
1 hour.
-L<XXXX> Override the LANG environment variable. (DEFAULT=none)
-W Keep LTClock in the Window List (default=NOT IN WINDOW LIST)
This option makes it easier to kill LTCLOCK.
-B Place the title BEFORE the time/date (default=AFTER)
===================================================================
LOCALE SUPPORT:
===============
To enable locale support, unzip the file LOCALES.ZIP (*) to a directory
located in your DPATH (or in the same directory as LTClock).
Next, edit your config.sys and add the following SET statements:
SET LANG=<LOCALE>
Where <LOCALE> is one of: CDEF - Default (same as no LANG statement)
FRAN - France
GERM - Germany
ITAL - Italy
JAPN - Japan
JAP2 - Japan
JAP3 - Japan
SPAI - Spain
UK - United Kingdom
USA - USA
Eg) For Germany, put "SET LANG=GERM" in your CONFIG.SYS
Note that you can discard any LOCALE binaries you do not need.
These binaries may be used by other applications written using
IBM CSET 2.0.
SET LTC_FORM=<STRING>
Where <STRING> defines the POSIX style date/time format
Eg) The default time format would be set by placing
SET LTC_FORM=%a, %b %d %I:%M
in your CONFIG.SYS, resulting in something like this:
Mon, Jan 17 8:12 : Title
See the file POSIX.FRM for more information on setting up your
own TIME/DATE format.
PRICING STRUCTURE & <stddisclaim.h>:
===================================
This program is FREE, give it to anyone and everyone who may want it.
Please leave the archive unmodified when redistributing this program, and
if you consider it valuable, I'd appreciate an email to let me know.
I do not, however, guarantee it in any way whatsoever, so use it at
your own risk. (Yah right!)

Notes (version 0.3):
====================
- LTClock still cannot change some application title bars. (Eg: PMVIEW)
This is likely never to change unless I have some kind of revelation.
- For readability considerations, LTClock will not change the title bar
if the total number of characters in the title bar including the
time and/or date, is greater than 150. Basically this means you
should keep your LTC_FORM variable as small as possible.
