- 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

- 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.
