YABWEYE - Yet Another B!*@&y Windows Eye Program.
=================================================
YABWEYE is a cursor tracking "eyes" program that also monitors system
resources and displays the current time. It also has a "Get out of Windows
Quick" option.
Copyright 1992 by KittSoft.
This distribution consists of :-
README.TXT This file.
YABWEYE.EXE YABWEYE executable.
YABWEYE.INI YABWEYE .INI file.
Installation.
-------------
YABWEYE.EXE should be copied to somewhere on your default path.
YABWEYE.INI has to be in your Windows sub-directory to be useful.
YABWEYE.INI
-----------
[YabWEye]
IntFreq=200
UpdateFreq=10
WarningPerCent=30
Currently YABWEYE.INI consists of three parameters.
1. IntFreq - This is the time (in milliseconds) between interupts for
updating the eye positions. The default of 200 gives five updates a second.
A smaller value will update the positions more often giving smoother
movement of the eye, but 200 seems a reasonable compromise.
2. UpdateFreq - This determines how often the title is updated to
display the current time, FSR etc. The parameter is the number of
"IntFreq" interrupts that are needed for each update of the title. The
default gives an update interval of two seconds.
3. Warning Per Cent. This is the value for warning of low free system
resources (FSR). If the FSR falls below this level, a warning message box
will be displayed.
Display.
--------
On each update interrupt, YABWEYE displays its information in the title
of the icon (or window).
YABWEYE displays the time, the FSR, then one of the following
The extra bits of info are :-
% GDI Free.
% User area free.
Windows up time.
Number of tasks running.
Processor type.
Windows mode.
Amount of free memory.
Exit Windows option.
--------------------
if this option is selected from the system menu, YABWEYE calls the Windows 3
function "ExitWindows" to finish the current Windows session. Basically this
is like choosing the "Exit Windows..." option from the program manager, but
without the confirmation box. BE WARNED!
Disclaimer.
-----------
The usual disclaimers apply. The program carries no warranty and the
author assumes no liability for its use. Basically I'm not resposible for
anything at all.
The Bottom Line.
----------------
YABWEYE is BeerWare.
If you find YABWEYE useful (and/or amusing) buy the programmer a
beer. Send the cost of beer (in local bank notes), if it's useful, but not
worth a beer, just send a postcard or a letter.
