- About Clinton Clock
- ========================
-
- Clinton Clock is a fully functional clock... that runs backwards. In other
- words, the hands rotate counter-clockwise with 3 o'clock on the left side and
- 9 o'clock on the right side. Clinton Clock uses the DOS time function for its
- internal timekeeping routines and is therefore as accurate as your DOS clock.
- Clinton Clock is compatible with both DOS & Windows. It comes with its own
- Icon and .PIF file to facilitate Windows Installation. Clinton Clock will run
- with either EGA or VGA displays.
-
- There are three differences between the registered version & the unregistered
- version.
-
- (1) When you start the unregistered version, the screen will display a
- registration reminder and ask you to press "Any Key To Go On".
- (2) The unregistered version will only run for 10 minutes before the
- registration reminder is displayed again. You can restart Clinton Clock
- as many times as you like by pressing "Any Key To Go On," but each time
- it will stop after 10 minutes of operation.
- (3) The unregistered version displays the message "It's LATER Than You Think"
- directly below the clock face. In the registered version, you can change
- this message to whatever you like by including the desired message on the
- Clinton Clock start-up command line. This allows Democrats to include a
- message such as "Turning Back Republican Policies." Replubicans & Ross
- Perot supporters can include messages appropriate to their current
- political beliefs.
-
- System Requirements
- ========================
-
- IBM PC or compatible with 640K Ram, an EGA or VGA monochrome or color monitor
- (color works best). Running Dos 3.3 or higher, or Windows 3.1
-
- Installation & Operation
- ========================
-
- Clinton Clock is a snap to install. Just unpack the archive file into a
- convenient directory. At the DOS prompt, type CLINTON. That's all there is
- to it. Windows installation isn't much harder. After unpacking the archive,
- start up Windows from the Program Manager, pull down Files Menu, pick New
- Program Item, pick Browse, use Directory Scroll Box to move to the directory
- that contains Clinton Clock, pick CLINTON.PIF, pick OK.
- When Clinton is registered, you can change the message displayed below the
- clock face by adding your message to the start-up command line as shown.
-
- CLINTON YOUR MESSAGE GOES HERE
- ^ this must be a space
-
- Your message will be centered automatically. You can use both upper & lower
- case letters, but Clinton Clock will convert your message to all upper case.
- Clinton Clock represents a new class of software called "ProtestWare." Some
- of the many possible uses for this kind of software are:
- (1) As a "Screen Saver," during your lunch break at work...
- (2) As a "Promotional" money raiser at political rallies
- (Contact Automated Graphics Inc. for quantity discounts)
- (3) As a "Protest Statement," send a copy to the White House or Congress
- on a floppy disk. Use a Batch file to start-up the Clinton Clock with
- your own "Slogan." (You may make as many copies of your REGISTERED
- version for this purpose as you like. You have our permission!)
