OS/2 FEB95 CLOCK TIME GUI OS/2 KEYSTONE
FILES: WldClk13
Author: Louis LaBrunda, Keystone Software Corp.
Registration: $25.00
World Clock is a multi-city time display clock for OS/2 V2.1 and
Warp. World Clock displays six clocks. You can select the city, or
any location around the world, for each clock. World Clock takes the
time from your computer's internal clock. In-order to display the
time at other locations, World Clock must know some things about your
local time zone. This and other information is maintained through
the use of an OS/2 style notebook.
The Settings notebook has nine pages. Each page allows you to choose
options that tailor World Clock to your specific needs. After installing
World Clock and running it for the first time, you should open the Settings
notebook and turn to the Local Zone page.
Local Zone: Select your Local Time Zone from the list-box. The Time Zones
are numbered West and East of Greenwich, England. There are Time Zone
names and places displayed on the right to aid your selection. If you are
in a time zone that uses fractions of an hour, you can set the number of
minutes to add to the time to match your time zone. Next set your Time
Zones Daylight Savings Time status.
Atomic Time: If the time in your computer's clock is not correct, you can
turn to the Atomic Clock page and call for the correct time. You will need
a 1200 Baud modem, to use this feature. You can set the port number of
your modem and if your modem is non-standard you can change the dial and
hang-up codes. You can also add digits to the telephone number to allow
dialing out on phone systems. Calling the Atomic clock, will get the time
and date and set your computer's clock.
City List: The City List page is used to define each clock. You select
the clock to set with Radio buttons. Choose the city from a list of over
500 cities. The number of characters of the City Name to be displayed on
the clock is set with a spin button. Use the Font page to select a smaller
font for a long city name. Use the Radio buttons to set the present status
of Daylight Savings Time for the city you have selected. Use the check box
to display or not display seconds on the selected clock's Time Display.
Use Radio buttons to select Civil or 24-Hour Military time display.
Layout: The Layout page allows you to select a clock layout for the clocks
within the World Clock window. Layouts of 1 by 6, 6 by 1, 2 by 3 and 3 by
2 are available. The Clocks are numbered from left to right and from top
to bottom. If you don't need to see all six clocks you can set the number
to display by clicking on the Radio buttons 1 through 6. This will size the
World Clock window to fit around your chosen number of Clocks.
Size: The size of the clocks, height and width, can be set. All clocks
are the same size. Clocks have two parts; the City Name title part and the
Time Display part. These two parts can be of different heights. The
position of the World Clock window can also be set on the Size page.
Color: The BackGround and ForeGround colors for all clocks or each clock
can be set. Use the Color Palette to select and define the BackGround and
ForeGround and drag them to the Color page to set the Colors for a Clock.
Font: The Font for the City Name part of a clock and the Time part of a
clock can be set. The default Font for all Clocks is <default> which means
the default OS/2 system font is used. Use the Font Palette to select and
define the Fonts for a Clock. The current Fonts for the Clock Title area
and Time Display area are specified and displayed on buttons on the Font
Page. Click on the desired Font, on the Palette, with the right mouse
button and drag it to the display area button to set the Font.
Custom Cities: If the extensive list of cities included with World Clock
does not include a city you need, you can maintain a list of cities of your
own. The Custom Cities page allows you to "Add", "Change", "Delete" and
"Save" your city list in a disk file.
Timer: Normally the time displayed on the clocks is up-dated every second.
The Timer page allows you to change the time between display up-dates with
a spin button. This may be help-full on slower computers.
Closing the Settings notebook saves the settings in WldClock.Ini, it is
read when World Clock is started and returns World Clock to your settings.
