     @{b}About AlarmClock@{ub}
    -------------------
     AlarmClock is similar to a nifty little clock program I liked -
"Alarming Clock" by Brian Neal - but it has an added feature @{u}I@{uu} needed
which was the ability to automatically turn on/off the alarm from a script.
I have the bad habbit of leaving the clock set on weekends when I am gone,
and this really disturbs my neighbors since I usually wake up to the alarm
blareing from my stereo system.
     Thus I wrote my own version with ARexx support.  Now I can have a CRON
style program baby-sit the program for me.
@{fg highlight}
     Oh, yeah. This is freeware. If you like it great. If not, well too bad.
     I just wrote it up quick for my uses, and though others may find it
     usefull.  Of course if you find any bugs please let me know.

     @{b}System Requirements@{ub}
    ---------------------
  You need an Amiga with KS V2.04 or above.
   That is it.  No other files or libraries are needed.

@node Installation  "Installation"

     @{b}Installation@{ub}
    --------------
     Just drop the Icon in you WBStartup drawer or where ever you may
want to start it from.  Thats about it.  You may also wish to set the
sampled sound file. (Note, you must set the tooltypes to make it permanent.)
@endnode
@node Usage "How to use AlarmClock"
     @{b}How to use AlarmClock@{ub}
    -----------------------
     Just start it and it goes.

  The [12 hour] button switches the clock displays between 24 hour
     (military) and 12 hour (am/pm) style clock.
  The [ARexx] button allows you to turn off the ARexx script
     interpretation.  If the button is check, ARexx scripts will work.
     If is it not, ARexx will not effect AlarmClock.
     The reason for this is, I have my CRON program turn off the alarm
     for the weekends.  But if I want to use it one day, I dont want to
     worry about re-updating the cron program, so I just make AlarmClock
     ignore the requests.  Ok, well I think it is usefull anyway.
  The HH and MM sliders allow you to set the alrm time.  If you pull
     the HH slider all the way to the left (Past 12:00am) the alarm display
     will change to "- OFF -".  The alarm is now off and will not go...until
     the alrm time is changed of course.
  The bottom gadgets are for loading and testing a sampled sound.  Note
     though, that this is not a permenant change.  You must still set the
     tooltypes to load a specific sound on startup.
  When the alarm goes off, a requester will appear.  Just hit [RETURN] or
     [ESC] and it will disappear, and the sound will stop when finished.

@node ToolTypes  "Tooltypes"
     @{b}Tool Types@{ub}
    ------------
       The following tooltypes may be entered into CBE's icon info, or
     they may be used from the CLI/Shell.  When entering parameters
     from the shell, remember any arguments with spaces MUST be
     surrounded by double quotes (").
          e.g.  CBE  TOPUNIT=5  "CX_COPY1=lalt ctrl c"
     PUBSCREEN   -  Public screen for AlarmClock to rest.
     ALARM_SOUND - Full path/filename for sampled or 8SVX sound.
     ALARM_TIME  - Time for alarm.  24 Hour Format HHMM no ':' or spaces.
                   e.g. "ALARM_TIME=2245".  'OFF' is also allowed.
     ALARM_ON    - Start up with alarm on? <YES|NO>
     12HOUR      - 12 hour display mode? <YES|NO>
     FLASH       - Use system DisplayBeep for Alarm? <YES|NO>
     WINTOP      - Location for top of window.
     WINLEFT     - Location for left edge of window.

@node ARexx "ARexx commands"
     @{b}ARexx commands@{ub}
    ----------------
     AlarmClock has only two ARexx commands:
  QUIT
     Obviously, this shuts down and quits the program.
  SETALARM <HHMM | OFF>
     Same usage as in the tooltypes.  This will set a new tiem for the alarm
     to go off, or with OFF, you can turn the alarm off.
