- +++++++++++++++++++++++++ PROGRAM OVERVIEW ++++++++++++ JAN 1992 ++++++
-
- Katie's Clock v2.1s may be distributed as "shareware" by any individual
- or organization. This file, INFO.DOC, must be distributed with the
- executable code, KC.EXE, as it contains a description of the program,
- registration details, and other information useful to end-users. The
- file, VENDER.DOC, which contains summary information about KC for
- shareware distributers, should also be distributed with the program.
-
- Katie's Clock will run on any IBM compatible system with DOS 3.0, or
- higher, and a color monitor. Version 2.1 updates version 1.20 by adding
- a CGA mode to the existing EGA and VGA modes, and by making minor
- improvements in the program documentation.
-
- Registration are given at the end of this file (page down). KC is
- distributed as shareware, which means that you may try it out BEFORE paying
- for it. If you intend to use KC you are obligated to register. On the other
- hand if you don't intend to continue using it you aren't under any
- obligation.
-
- Registration for individual users costs only $15. For a $25 registration
- fee we'll put your child's name on the clock screen (e.g. Sarah's Clock).
- You'll get the latest version of KC with either registration fee.
-
- Site registration, for schools, day care centers, etc., is available for
- $15 for the first computer, $10 for each additional machine, to a maximum
- of $95.
-
- So try KC; if you find it to be useful in the education of your child
- please register.
-
-
- USING THE PROGRAM
-
- Katie's Clock (KC) is an excellent tool for helping parents teach their
- children how to tell the time of day from conventional analogue clocks.
- Although a computer literate child can easily learn how to use KC we
- recommend that a parent be present, at least in the beginning, to ensure
- that the child doesn't get discouraged. Parental feedback is important
- in all learning situations.
-
- If you have VGA display KC will be displayed in the VGA mode. Likewise, if
- you have EGA or CGA display KC will be diplayed in EGA or CGA modes.
-
- KC can be used in several different ways:
-
- CLOCK: In this mode the actual time will be displayed (if your computers'
- internal clock is set properly - refer to your DOS manual). This is the way
- in which the clock portion of the program begins. To get back TO this mode
- FROM any other mode press the F5 key.
-
- RANDOM: This mode, invoked by the F2 key, causes the clock to display
- various times, randomly, by pressing the Space Bar or the Enter key.
-
- INPUT: Invoked by the F3 key, this mode allows you to input a time in order
- to tell what it looks like on a clock face. Enter the Hour, a comma, then
- the Minutes. Use the backspace key to make corrections.
-
- SEQUENTIAL: Invoked by the F4 key, this mode starts the clock at 12:00 and
- allows you to increment the time by 5 minutes each time you press the Space
- Bar or Enter key.
-
- DIGITAL DISPLAY: The F1 key toggles (turns on or off) a digital display of
- the time and a statement of the time such as {15 minutes after 3}. This
- feature is available in any mode.
-
- HARDWARE/SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS: Version 2.1 requires a color VGA, EGA, or
- CGA monitor, and DOS 3.0 or greater. A hard disk is not required.
-
- REGISTRATION: By registering (only $15 postpaid) you'll also receive:
-
- 1) a floppy disk with the latest registered version of Katie's Clock
- (reg. version skips the introduction & starts with the clock screen,
- and leaves off registration screen at end of program )
- 2) updates on new TZK shareware;
- 3) A bonus shareware program of our choice (a high quality game or
- educational program from another shareware author).
