THE NAG!
========

"Nag" is exactly what it says it is, and nothing more.  It will, at
any user-specified interval up to 999 minutes, pop up and remind you
to save your work.  It will *not* save your work for you, however.
Nag will only snap you out of your creative trance; it's up to you to
decide what's worth saving.

Requirements
------------
1. Absentmindedness.
2. Microsoft Windows 3.0.
3. VBRUNXXX.DLL.  Nag was written in Visual Basic, and thus requires
the dynamic-link library file VBRUN100.DLL (or better) to run.  The
DLL should be located somewhere on your DOS path--preferably in your
Windows or Windows/System directory.  Being a "Thunderform" also means
The Nag will only run in Windows' Standard or Enhanced modes.

All there is to it
------------------
Nag will first appear in its full form.  The form allows you to change
the interval between pop-up reminders, to set the beep on or off, and
to save your settings.  The settings can be changed any time by
clicking on the Nag icon and restoring the form.  Changes are saved
and subsequently updated in your Win.ini file.  If you're so inclined,
you can also change settings "manually" by editing the PopMinutes and
Beepon numbers in the [TheNag] section of your Win.ini file (1 turns the
beep on, 0 turns it off).  Note: the section won't be created until
you click the "Save Settings" button on the main form (or reposition
the pop-up box; see below).  If you never click the Save button, the
settings will remain at the default 30-minute pop-up interval with no
beeps.

The main form is minimized when you click the "...nag my day" button.

The first pop-up may occur before the first elapsed interval.  The
reason: the clock is set to start when Nag is first called up.  This
allows Nag to start ticking immediately if Nag is loaded to start with
Windows.  The Nag's timer will reset itself and tick a full interval 
each time you brush its pop-up box away with the "OK, OK..." button.

If you do want Nag to load on startup, just add Nag.exe to the Load=
line near the top of your Win.ini file.  If you have Nag in your
main Windows directory, be sure to add its path to the Load line as
well.

You can move the the Nag pop-up box to any position on your
screen.  Just grab it by its title bar (or, if you're using the
keyboard for such things, key to the Move command in the command box)
and slide it someplace else.  When you click "OK, OK...", Nag will
record its new position in its own Win.ini section and will reappear
in its new position until you move it again.

Otherwise
---------
Though it's not very swift off the mark, The Nag seems to do its job
without any serious problems.  However, if you do find any glitches
or if you have any suggestions, I'd like to hear of them.

I'd also like to hear from you if you think The Nag is a worthwhile
little item.  If it does the trick for you, a dollar or so of
encouragement would be much appreciated by this would-be programmer.
