TIMEKEEPER 2.3 Readme.txt Corona Software
Installing: Please read TIMEKEEP.WRI for installation instructions.
UPGRADING from a version 1.x release of TIMEKEEPER:
TimeKeeper 2.3 requires the TIMEKEEP.INI file to be
located in the directory where you run WINDOWS. Before starting
up the new version of TimeKeeper, move the current TIMEKEEP.INI
file to your windows directory.
If you want to put the INI file elsewhere then start the
program with the INI filename on the command line as follows.
Put the following statement in your LOAD= line of WIN.INI
or in the command line field of your ICON's properties settings.
Example: C:\WINAPP\TIMEKEEP.EXE C:\WINAPP\TIMEKEEP.INI
Problems: If you ever encounter problems with TimeKeeper try deleting
TIMEKEEP.INI and restart the program. This should work. If not
please send a note to OLENDORF on America Online.
Notes about screen savers:
If you have noticed that sometimes the screen savers do not
activate while running TimeKeeper, this is why. This program
automatically resizes itself to fit the current text. If
this resizing happens before the screen saver activates then
it will reset the screen saver timer (I don't understand yet
why this happens). To avoid this, select a font that does
not have to change the window size when the time changes.
Most fonts do not change size for numbers even if they are
proportional. Then the only time the clock will change size
is when you go from 12:59 to 1:00 or when the weekday changes.
I hope this solves the problem although I will not be happy
until I know why this happens.
Changes to TimeKeeper:
version 1.2 Now saves all info when the clock is moved.
Pester alarm will remind you to register.
Fixes bug so that ALWAYS ON TOP setting will be saved.
Fixes bug with 24 HOUR setting. It would turn off if
the seconds were on and you entered the control panel.
RUN program now only checks to see if the first word
entered is a valid file. This should allow parameters
to be passed to programs. Also eliminate a terminal
loop when an invalid path was entered.
version 1.3 All alarm screens will stay ON TOP until answered.
A non-answered alarm will not stop the clock.
Multiple alarms will be shown at the same time.
Faster response when dragging the clock.
version 1.4 Better STAY ON TOP effect.
Now with WAVe file support on each alarm!! Windows 3.1
users only.
Now you can select how many beeps you want.
Clock can no longer be resized off the screen.
Bug Fixes:
If "On Date" option was specified for first alarm
then next time alarm button was pushed TimeKeeper
would cancel.
If alarm was entered with a 1 digit hour then alarm
wouldn't work.
version 2.0 Now compiled with Visual Basic 2.0. Requires VBRUN200.DLL.
New BROWSE button to select WAV files and Programs from a
list box.
You can now define ANY number of alarms.
Allows Font size of up to 2048 points.
More colors to choose from. Easier color selection.
TIMEKEEP.INI file must be in the directory where WINDOWS
runs from. This can be overridden by specifying the full
path on the command line.
version 2.1 Now allows BOLD and ITALIC font selection.
Date format YY/MM/DD has been added.
version 2.2 Now allows selection of Font type/size/color for the ALARM
WINDOW.
The Alarm Window size can be changed by editting
TIMEKEEP.INI.
version 2.3 Now has a snooze button on the alarm message box to
temporarily hide the window.
Now the alarm time is entered in a 12 hour, AM/PM format.
Added an hourly chime which can be any WAV file.
Added a "test" button to try out WAV files before selecting
them.
Thoughts for Future Versions:
Voice recording and playback for alarms!
Remember, these changes are driven by user requests. I want this to be
the best alarm clock/scheduler it can be.
