INTRODUCTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time pieces that open a window in the title bar, prevent 'dragging'
the screen when the mouse pointer has been placed within the clock's
window. If the time & date were 'stamped' within selected screen's
title bar, screen 'dragging' would still be possible even when the
mouse pointer has been placed within the clock's display area. 'TC'
solves this problem: Titlebar Clock.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

USING TC
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------
Getting Started:
----------------
You can start 'TC' from the CLI/ Shell by using:
>Run TC
... or you can double-click on the supplied icon.
If you want to run 'PC' from the CLI/ Shell, then you will either
have to 'CD <path>' where 'PC' is located before attempting to
run it, or have previously installed it in your current c: path
or directory.
(Please refer to the online help file for more information.)
--------
Options:
--------
The following options are available from the CLI/ Shell.
-n ..... Do not show date.
-i ..... Ignore title bar limits.
(This allows the title bar text to be over-written by the
clock's information.)
-q ..... Exit any currently running 'TC' program(s).
(For information on 'TOOLTYPES' please refer to the online help file.)
-----------------
Setting the time:
-----------------
To set the time, use the system preferences 'Time' command.
----------------------
Changing screen modes:
----------------------
Since 'TC' uses the current WORKBENCH screen, no changes should be
made, like new screen modes, etc., without first exiting 'TC'.
After the changes have been made, restart 'TC'. This is due to
change in a future release.
-----
CCFQ:
-----
The following 'ccf' commands are recognized when 'TC' is 'hidden':
PREF
QUIT
(Please refer to the help file(s) for 'CCFQ' for more information.)
-----------------------
Software Configuration:
-----------------------
The following variables (flags) are used:
SCREEN TO FRONT
USE PUBLIC SCREEN
(Please refer to the help file(s) for 'SoftConfig' for more information.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOR ADVANCED USERS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------
'WBSTARTUP' Startup:
--------------------
'TC' can be started automatically when your system boots up, by
dragging -n- dropping the 'TC' icon into your current 'SYS:WBSTARTUP'
drawer.
-------
'CCFQ':
-------
Use 'CCFQ' (if installed within your c: directory) to exit 'TC' from
any CLI/ Shell.
