Part 1
ABOUT THE DIGCLK.COM PROGRAM.
I created this little TSR because though my file manager
displays the time at a glance none of my other often used
programs do. For example, I can pop up this little clock
program within my editor and place it at the top where the
options are displayed without interference with my editing.
Also when I'm using my modem software and I'm busy browsing
through the forums it's nice to see the amount of time I've
been online.
This TSR once loaded into memory takes up around 2000 bytes.
Unlike many such digital popup clock programs DIGCLK can
be easily turned ON or OFF by pressing a couple keys.
DIGCLK works in text mode and when the clock is turned ON
then OFF it restores the previous screen characters.
DIGCLK also supports some graphic modes, but to keep the
program small it does not save or restore the previous
screen characters.
The program also includes a count down timer that can be
set on the fly whenever needed from 0 to 99 minutes.
The clock can be set to be displayed at any corner of the
screen and can be moved to any other corner by pressing the
appropriate Hot Key. Once this option is requested you press
the letter "L" for upper left corner "l" for lower left corner
"R" for upper right corner "r" for the lower right corner of
your screen. The maximum lower corner Row can be set when the
program is loaded using the /M switch followed by the bottom
row value. Look over the examples listed below.
If you do place the clock at the bottom of the screen and
the program you are within scrolls the screen up one line
at a time (like when the prompt is at the bottom of your
screen and you press enter) the clock will replicate itself
up the screen. The real purpose of the move clock option
is to enable placement of the clock where it can be best
used without un-neccessary interference. I place the clock
at the top when using my editor because the editors option
line is displayed there. I move the clock to the bottom of
the screen when I'm usig my modem software because the
option line is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
================================================================================
Part 2
INSTALLING THE DIGCLK.COM PROGRAM.
The Very First time DIGCLK.COM is loaded a setup screen will
be displayed. Press a number key option to choose the color
for your clock display. Press A, B and C to change the default
Hot Key combinations. If you wish to use the default Hot Keys
just press the enter key after choosing a clock color option.
The enhanced keyboard function keys F11 and F12 can also be
used as Hot Keys if present.
When you use the CTRL, SHIFT or ALT key in your key combo,
press that key first then press the second key. Be sure and
follow this rule when you set your own Hot Key combination
within the setup procedure.
After this initial setup procedure you must run the DIGCLK
program again with any of the possible switches listed below.
Running the program without switches will display the clock
at the top right corner in blue on white when the default
Hot Key is pressed [SHIFT-SHIFT].
The setup procedure can be recalled whenever you like to
change colors or Hot Key assignments by using the /K switch.
In order to re-enable the default ON/Off [SHIFT-SHIFT] Hot Key
combination you must use the /K switch to re-establish defaults.

Part 3
POSSIBLE COMMAND LINE SWITCHES.
/H = This help screen.
/O = Clock ON when loaded.
/U = Unload clock program.
/R = Right corner of screen.
/L = Left corner of screen.
/N = Disable Message output when loading.
/S = Enables beep sound when Hot Key pressed.
/K = Change clock Color and Hot Key assignments.
/Mnn = Display at Bottom screen/(nn) = 25, 28, 43, 50-default = 25.
/Pnn = Beginning Alarm value/(nn) must be two digits-default = 99.
The following example sets the clock display at the
top right corner with an alarm setting of 5 minutes.
C:\ DIGCLK /R /P05
The following example sets the clock display to - ON - at
the left corner-row 50 with an alarm setting of 10 minutes.
C:\ DIGCLK /O /L /M50 /P10
The following example sets the clock display at the
