- Enhancer, Version 1.
-
- Copyright Alan H. Clifford, 1997.
-
- Enhancer is a program for the Psion 3A.
-
-
- WHAT IT DOES
-
- You're working on, for example, a spreadsheet and an alarm goes off.
- You press Esc to cancel the alarm and you are presented with Enhancer
- screen. Here, you have the option of scheduling an alarm for 5 minutes
- time by pressing Enter. You are then back in your application and can
- continue working.
-
- An alarm created by Enhancer may be cancelled via "View next alarms"
- option in the Time application.
-
-
- CAVEAT
-
- Enhancer functions by reading the next alarm from the Time applications
- memory space and sets a timer to go off 2 seconds before the alarm.
- This reading occurs on switch on, when Enhancer comes to the foreground
- and on a (check) timer.
-
- Consequently, if you switch on your 3A, set an alarm in Time which
- is earlier than the current 1st alarm, and immediately switch off
- again, Enhancer does not know about the new alarm. It will not be
- picked up until the next switch on or until the (check) timer goes off.
- So if you do not switch on the Psion again before the alarm time,
- Enhancer will not have picked up the alarm.
-
- There is a problem with timers. They reset the auto switch off count,
- so Enhancer cannot be allowed to re-read the Time data at intervals
- less that the auto switch off value. The (check) timer is set to 10
- seconds more than the auto switch off time so, if you allow the Psion
- to auto switch off, a check will occur before auto switch off (but the
- autoswitch off delay could be doubled). If auto switch off is
- disabled, the Time data are read every 59 seconds.
-
- The name on the system screen is changed to display the day and time of
- the next alarm.
-
- There is a problem with changing names on the system screen. After the
- (check) timer has gone off, the name on the system is not updated until
- the System screen lists are updated. Consequently, the name on the
- system screen may not reflect the current alarm.
-
- Enhancer reads directly from the Time applications memory space.
- Enhancer has been developed on a 1 Mb 3A. The locations of the data
- may be different on other Psions so Enhancer may not be able to find
- the data.
-
-
- PRICE
-
- This version of Enhancer can be used without payment. A payment may be
- required for future versions.
