Date Key Version 2.04
Date Key 2.0 is an FKEY resource that, when invoked, types the
current time or date (in a choice of formats) wherever the insertion point
is in a program or desk accessory you are running. It operates just as if
you had typed the date or time in yourself.
Version 2.04 is slightly modified to work with Apple's System 4.1.
Version 3.0, which will contain more options, will be available sometime
in June, 1987.
Date Key should be installed with Carlos Weber's FKEY Manager, with
Dreams of the Phoenix's publicly available FKEY installer, or with Apple
Computer's ResEd. It can be installed with any number from 5 to 9, or zero.
As supplied, it will be FKEY resource number 6.
The first time you invoke Date Key 2.0, it will present you with a
configuration screen showing a choice of date or time, and a variety of
formats for each; it will also ask you to send me money if you like Date
Key, and give my address. After you choose your preferred format, click
either the "Okay" button or the "Money Is In The Mail" button. If you click
"Okay" Date Key 2.0 will use your chosen format for this invocation only. If
you click "Money Is In The Mail," Date Key 2.0 will save your chosen format
in a resource (type ' LBJ', ID = -1228) in the System file. Once there is
such a resource in the System file, Date Key 2.0 will NOT continue to
present the configuration file each time it is invoked. It will simply type
in the date or time in the chosen format.
If you want to change the format after you have saved a standard
format, proceed as follows. Invoke Date Key 2.0 as usual, but do NOT
release the Command key. While still holding the Command key down, press
down the Option key. Once the Option key is down, release the Command
key. You will be presented with the Configuration dialog box and can
reconfigure Date Key 2.0 as you desire.
Date Key 2.0 takes about 2500 bytes in your System file. If all you
ever want to do is type in the current date in "standard" format -- that is,
Month Day, Year -- you will find Date Key 1.0 is a little quicker and quite a
bit more compact (fewer than 500 bytes).
Date Key 2.0 is shareware. Feel free to copy it and distribute it, free,
to others. You cannot sell it. If you try it and find it useful, I ask that you
send $5.00 to me, or $10 if you want a copy of the latest version -- (as
well as some additional shareware to try out, and some freeware to try
and use for free if you like) -- on disk.
Multiple Users, Multiple Computers. Registering Date Key
entitles one person to use it on as many computers as you like, OR allows
many people to use it on one computer. If you intend that more than
one person will use it on more than one computer (for example, if
several people in one office are using it on several different computers),
you should send me one registration fee for each person who will be using
the program, or for each computer on which it will be used, whichever is
less. If you are interested in obtaining a site license for unlimited users
and computers at one location, please contact me; I'd be happy to negotiate
equitable terms.
