CrOsborne Countdown Timer Psion 5 version
v5.1b October 1999
==========================================================================
Registration costs ú10UK (ten pounds) in cash (no cheques) to
Roger Creagh-Osborne,
Colloggett Cottage,
Landulph, Saltash,
Cornwall, PL12 6ND, UK
Check for latest version and alternative registration details at:
http://www.crosborne.co.uk
Registered version is not disabled three days a month
==========================================================================
Installation instructions:
CTIMER5.ZIP is an archive file containing two files:
CTIMER.SIS - the Psion installation file
RDMETM5.TXT - these instructions.
Use WinZip and PsiWin (or whatever other means you normally use) to extract
the files an run the Exchange.sis file to install onto your Psion.
Operation of the program should be self evident; if in doubt refer to
the help file. The program has only been extensively tested on an 8Mb Psion 5
- there are almost certainly undiscovered bugs and problems - if you
are first to find and report one I'll try and fix it and get a new version
to you.
No warranty is given or implied - you should always back up your data
regularly, use of the program is entirely at your own risk.
(I use it regularly on my Psion without problems).

and also for a final audible alarm. The sound for the
alarm can be selected from the built in Fanfare, Chimes
or Bell, or any other sound file you have recorded.

You can set up to three intermediate waypoints.
Note that you have to enter the elapsed time, not the
time remaining when defining the waypoints.
Set any unwanted waypoints to 00:00:00
There is an option in the setup dialog to cause the
countdown to automatically hold when a waypoint is
reached - countine by pressing [Space]
Waypoints will be marked on the screen and by an
optional audible warning.
If Timer is running in the background it will continue
to count down and will come to the foreground when a
waypoint is reached.

Holding and Jumping
The countdown is started by pressing the Space Bar.
Once running Space can be used to toggle hold mode.
If waypoints have been set Psi+W or Psi+Space will jump
forward to the next waypoint.
You can also jump to a specific time using PsiJ and
entering either an elapsed or remaining time to jump to.
Note that whilst a Menu or Dialog is displayed the count
is held.
Timer will continue to run in the background whilst
another program is in use.
Once the final time is reached and any alarm has been
played, timer continues to count until a key is pressed

the same setings and waits for you to press [Space] to
start the countdown.
Pressing [Home] (Psi+Left) will restart immediately from
the begining.
