CALCLOCK.ACC is a Desk accessory that is compatible with the corresponding
PC-Version. It contains however only the printspooler from the PC-GEM version.
Calculator and clock are not included. With the Help of CALCLOCK, ASCII-Text
can be printed in the Background.
CALCLOCK.ACC is a Component of 7UP, the GEM-Text editor for the Atari ST.
CALCLOCK is allowed to be distributed only with 7UP.
CALCLOCK is exactly like 7UP - a Shareware program. Therefore for its
Use payment is required. Otherwise the further development of CALCLOCK is
undermined, there then is what a Pirate copy equals.

When you have questions about CALCLOCK, always mention in your request, please the
Version-number. It can be found at the Beginning of the Users manual, or in the
Copyright menu.
It is express forbidden, 7UP or. CALCLOCK at expense in the
PD Version to sell. Generally it can be said , that from Third parties
no Charge of any type for 7UP can be demanded.
For your handling you can rightly charge.
It is expressly desired that 7UP or. CALCLOCK be distributed, indeed
only in complete, unchanged Form. On the Disk or in the Archive must
the following Files be:
7UP.APP 7UP Main program
7UP.RSC Resource file for 7UP
7UPICN.RSC Icon file for Gemini*
NEWICONS.Rsc Icon file for Gemini* from Renè T. Fritz
7UP.DOC Users manual for 7UP
TAXPATCH.TTP Patch program for the Value Added Tax
TAXPATCH.DOC Users manual for TAXPATCH
CALCLOCK.ACC Printer spooler compatible with CALCLOCK
CALCLOCK.INF INF-File with it
CALCLOCK.DOC Users manual
SPOOL.TTP MUPFEL-Command for Gemini-Desktop
SPOOL.C Source for SPOOL.TTP
SPOOL.MAN Online-Manual for MUPFEL
CHANGES.TXT News
7UP should preferably in an Archive, e.G. ARC, LZH etc. give-away become.
Uploading to Bulletin board systems is expressly desired.
CALCLOCK has been aaccording to my best Knowledge developed and tested.
Not-withstanding could it to Errors come. The Author assumes no Liability
whatsoever for Damage of any type, direct or indirect, resulting from the
use of CALCLOCK.
1. Installation
---------------
Copy CALCLOCK.ACC and CALCLOCK.INF in(to) the Root directory of the
Boot partition of Your Hard-disk. On booting, CALCLOCK attempts to find the
file CALCLOCK.INF in which the print buffer size is specified.
The file contains the following:
4096 /* print buffer size in Bytes */
You can expand the buffer to (almost) any size by loading CALCLOCK.INF into 7UP
and changing the buffer size to an appropriate value. In actual practice, the
default buffer size has proven to be adequate.
2. Making use of
------------
After Booting, it appears in the desk accessory menu as "Printspooler".
When you click on it, there appears to the right a Window with a name field and
two Buttons. The window can be freely moved around if desired. When you
want to print a File, click "add Name". The File selection box appears and
with it you can select the file. The Filename appears in the Window.
You can load a maximum of 12 Files. When you want to delete an entry,
click on "delete Name". you can delete more than one entry by holding down the
SHIFT key while selecting, or making a rubberband lasso with the mouse - all as
on the normal GEM Desktop.
When you use the Gemini*-Desktop, CALCLOCK.ACC can be set up as an Icon on the
Desktop. When you drag a file to the icon, Gemini* transmits this Action with Help
(of) the VA_protocols. A Double click opens the Accessory.
3. Technical Details
---------------------
CALCLOCK supports besides the DRI-Protocol also the VA_Protocol.
When It CALCLOCK support want, use following Routine:
Filename to ACC send:
accid=appl_find("CALCLOCK");
msgbuf[0]=100; /* Sendcode */
msgbuf[1]=gl_apid; /* own apid */
msgbuf[2]=-1;
msgbuf[3]=strlen(filename);
msgbuf[4]=(unsigned int)((long)filename >> 16);
msgbuf[5]=(unsigned int)((long)filename & 0xffff);
msgbuf[6]=1; /* Number of Copies */
msgbuf[7]=0; /* After Print: 0=not delete, 1=delete */
appl_write(accid,16,msgbuf);
The FILENAME must be static. It allows not local on the Stack produce
became be. (?)
After the successful Receipt sends CALCLOCK (Spooler) the MSG 101.
3.1 VA_Protocol
----------------
When you want to know more about the VA_Protocol, you can find the
appropriate Information in the Archive included with Gemini*.
3.2 HP DeskJet 500
------------------
Owners of this Printer know, that before the Computer is switched on
the printer must be on. With CALCLOCK this Problem is in the Past. It
becomes with "ONGIBIT(32)" automatically "wakened".
(?)
Note:
If you change applications the print file will be closed early and your
printout will be truncated. When the new application becomes active, The
printout resumes at the place where it was interrupted.
With TOS-Versions < 2.0 comes the necessary AC_CLOSE-Display
unfortunately too late, so that it here Problems can result.
This is a Bug in the TOS and apparent not preventable.
