command if you received TimeRuler in some other way - such as from
a bulletin board etc. For more information on using either of
these commands, please refer to your MS-DOS User's Guide.
2. Place the backup copy of your TimeRuler diskette into your
computer's floppy drive and choose RUN from the Program Manager
FILE menu (or its equivalent if you are using a different shell).
3. Type A:\INSTALL (or B:\INSTALL) and click on OK in the FILE/RUN
dialog box.
4. Follow the installation instructions on the the screen.
Note: Please keep TIMERULE.EXE and TIMERULE.HLP in the
same directory, and do not rename either of these files.
Running TimeRuler
Start TimeRuler by double-clicking on the TimeRuler icon in Program
Manager (or its equivalent) to run the program. Once TimeRuler has
started up, you can get to its main dialog as follows:
- Click on the TimeRuler display, and hold the mouse button down
until the dialog appears, or
- If you are using the keyboard, use Alt+TAB repeatedly until the
focus is on the TimeRuler window (this is a standard Windows key

Once TimeRuler is running, you can get comprehensive on-line
help simply by pressing the Help button in any of the dialogs.
