- WS-TIMER is a small application that will help you keep track of
- your time on-line. WS-TIMER is written to keep track of on-line
- time for people paying monthly rates. At the beginning of each
- month the monthly timer will be reset to zero. The time from the
- previous month will be recorded in a file called "HISTORY?.TXT"
- that you will find in the directory that you installed WS-TIMER.
- Also a daily history file will be created each day by the name
- DAYHIST?.TXT, this will help those who have maximum daily rates
- These files can be viewed from WS-TIMER.
-
- After you install WS-TIMER using the setup program you will have
- to modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file with the following line:
-
- SET WSTIMER=C:\WSTIMER
-
- Replace the drive and directory to reflect your setup. Save your
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file and then reboot your computer for the changes
-
-
-
- to take place.
-
- If you use Trumpet Winsock dial command you must insert the
- following line as the last line in your LOGIN script. This will
- execute WS-TIMER for you after you have logged on to your
- provider.
-
- EXEC "d:\internet\wstimer\wstimer.exe ON A"
-
- The A can be any letter from A - Z so you can run multiple
- sessions of WS-TIMER. Both commands must be on the command line
- and keep the quote as shown.
-
- To stop WS-TIMER when you disconnect, just add the following
- command to your BYE script. This executes EndTimer and stops the
- clock from running.
-
- EXEC "d:\internet\wstimer\endtimer.exe"
-
- Replace the drive and directories to reflect your setup.
-
- If you run WS-TIMER from its icon you will have to add the
- command line switch "ON A" without the quotes using Program
- Manager, File, Properties and in the command line box add the
- word "ON A" at the end of the command line. Without this switch
- the timer will not be updated, this was changed so that you could
- run WS-TIMER just to view your accumulated time without the time
- being updated. To view the proper files for your setup, you will
- have to add the A in the command line without the ON.
-
- WS-TIMER has two setup function. One for the stay-on-top window
- which you will find under the File menu and the other is to set
- the multimedia alarm.
-
- The stay-on-top setup allows for four choices:
-
- 1. This Call Shows the clock for the present call.
- 2. Today Shows the clock for the current day total.
- 3. Month Shows the clock for the current month total.
- 4. None No stay-on-top clock displayed.
-
- To setup the multimedia alarm. Choose Alarm then Set, a setup
- window will appear. Select the number of hours and minutes from
- the time you signed on for the alarm to go off. Select your
- choice of sound from the Sounds option and click on Exit. You may
- test any sounds from the Sound Test options. The sound selection
- is made up of the ".wav" files contained in your Windows
- directory. During the installation of WS-TIMER, the setup program
- placed two ".wav" file called "ALARM.WAV" and "ROOSTER.WAV" in
- your WS-TIMER directory. Just move or copy these files to the
- Windows directory if you want to use them. You can create your
- own sound files to be used by WS-TIMER.
-
- Note. The default at runtime is no alarm. If you need to use the
- alarm as a reminder, this will have to be set for each sessions.
