ALARMCLOCK ACCESSORY
The Micro-Time AlarmClock accessory consists of the following
files:
ALARMCLK.ACC
COLORCLK.RSC
MONO_CLK.RSC
ALARMCLK.DAT
In order for the AlarmClock accessory to work properly with your
monitor, you must have either the COLORCLK.RSC (for color monitors)
or the MONO_CLK.RSC (for monochrome monitors) on the same disk as
the ALARMCLK.ACC file.
When these files are put on your boot disk, the AlarmClock
accessory will be properly installed and can be selected from the
Desk dropdown menu.
When selected, the AlarmClock accessory will open up a window on
your screen. It is divided into three parts:
Corner Clock
Alarms
Today's Time & Date
Corner Clock
This will allow you to turn ON/OFF the digital clock, which will
be displayed in the upper right hand corner of the screen. You
also have the choice between 12 and 24 hour display format of the
clock.
Alarms
This section will allow you to set up to 5 alarms, which can be
used as reminders when you are using the computer. To set an
alarm, click on an alarm number, click alarm status to ON, and set
the Alarm Time & Date. Then enter in an alarm message that you
want to be displayed when the alarm goes off. When an alarm goes
off, a bell will sound and the alert box will open and show you
your message. Pressing return will make the alert box disappear.
If you are not in a GEM program, you will only hear the alarm
bell. Returning to the desktop will bring up the alert box with
its message.
NOTE: Time, Date and _M will allow you to use the "?" character as
a wild card. Here is an example:
Alarm Time: ??:00:00 ?M
Alarm Date: ??-??-??
In this example, an alarm would go off every hour, both
AM & PM, of every day, month, and year.
Today's Time & Date
This section allows you to set the current Time and Date. After
you are finished, click on DONE with the mouse or just press
RETURN. The computer's Time & Date will now be set and your
Corner Clock will be displayed, if selected ON, as well as any of
your alarms. If you click on SAVE, a file will be saved to drive A
or C, which will contain the current settings of the Corner Clock
and the Alarms. This file, ALARMCLK.DAT will be loaded into your
computer on boot up.
