- TimeCalc 1.4
-
- 25th September 1996
-
- ----------------------------------------------
- Description
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- TimeCalc allows you to add together a list of times easily and quickly.
- eg. running lengths of films, or CD tracks
-
- Quick example:
- 3:28 -> 3:28 | 0:03:28
- 4:11 -> 7:39 | 0:07:39
- 3:05 -> 10:44 | 0:10:44
- 4:35 -> 15:19 | 0:15:19
- 4:31 -> 19:50 | 0:19:50
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------
- Usage
- ~~~~~
- TimeCalc has two different methods of operation. Either manual entry of
- the times, or reading the list from a file.
-
- Reading the file is basiclly the same as typing in the numbers, but it's
- just done in advance, so the following conditions apply.
-
-
- Enter numbers like this: hh:mm:ss
- The display is in the format: <entry> -> mm:ss | h:mm:ss
-
- Any non-numeric character can be used as a seperator between the fields
- of the time.
-
- If you don't want to enter all fields, you don't have to. You could
- just have `mm:ss', or just `ss', but seeing as the program works right
- to left, if you want to leave out either the minutes or seconds, you
- must replace them with a `0'.
-
- eg. `3:00:00' for three hours.
-
-
- Also, you are not limited to two characters per feild. Say you wanted
- to add a group of film running lengths, you might have a list like this:
-
- 115:00 -> 115:00 | 1:55:00
- 123:30 -> 238:30 | 3:58:30
- 98:10 -> 336:40 | 5:36:40
- 88:59 -> 425:39 | 7:05:39
- 239:15 -> 664:54 | 11:04:54
-
-
- R resets the count to 0:00:00, Q quits out. Invalid entries are ignored.
-
- You can subtract times by entering a minus (-) sign before the time:
-
- 40:15 -> 40:15 | 0:40:15
- -20:11 -> 20:04 | 0:20:04
-
-
- When reading the list of times from a file, there are two extra options
- available:
-
- Q=QUICK - This causes TimeCalc not to print entry as it is added, and
- just gives a total time at the end of the list.
-
- C=CONTINUE - If this option is present, then after the file has been
- scanned, you can continue entering times by hand.

- Notes
- ~~~~~
- #include <std_disclaimer.h>
-
- I am very bad at writing documentation for my programs. I know how they
- work becuase I wrote them. Putting how they work into words is
- something I have always found difficult.
-
- If you have any problems, please feel free to contact me.

- Special thanks to:
- Kerry - For putting up with me (Love ya)
- Renze - For not caring
- Gryzor - The idea about reading from a file
