- CLOKIT ! Elapsed Time Calculator
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- This program shows time elapsed from one period to another.
- Time is computed accurately, even if the computer is turned off.
-
-
- Usage: CLOKIT [file.ext] [option]
-
-
- CLOKIT TIME.DAT /S saves current time in a file named TIME.DAT,
- then exits. You are shown the starting time/date.
-
- CLOKIT TIME.DAT /@ retrieves information in file TIME.DAT, and
- calculates elapsed time.
-
-
-
-
-
- To remember options-->
-
- S stands for "START"
- @ looks like a little Stop Sign
-
-
-
-
-
- ==========================================================================
-
- To time how long it takes your wife to quit complaining:
-
- CLOKIT WIFE.DAT /S when she opens his mouth and begins
- CLOKIT WIFE.DAT /@ after she says no more
-
-
-
- To see how long you are logged onto Compuserve:
-
- CLOKIT CIS.DAT /S before logging on.
- CLOKIT CIS.DAT /@ after you log off and return to DOS.
-
-
-
- NOTE: You can time unlimited intervals, and keep them all in separate
- files. The only limit to your timings is how many files your
- disk can handle. The files created by this program are VERY SMALL
- (around 24 bytes).
-
-
- There is a limit of 9,999 years of timing. Not that it really matters,
- but if you live forever or something like that, you must re-run the program
- after 9,999 years.
-
- If you do live that long, please write me a letter, and if I'm alive,
- I'll be glad to make a new program that supports Centuries...

- SAMPLE USAGES:
- -------------------------------------------
-
-
- 1) Place a "timer" file onto each backup diskette you own. That way, you can
- run the program, and find out how old your diskette is.
- Possibly, a REALLY old diskette would be a good object to replace with
- a newer one !!
-
- 2) Time your log-ons to BBS'.
-
- 3) For people who run BBS' themselves, you may use this to time how
- long your computer has been on.
-
- 4) For burning in a new computer, use this instead of watching the
- clock, checking ocassionally for that 48 hour mark.
-
- 5) Put it in your autoexec.bat file, and determine how long your
- computer has been turned off. (for you SERIOUS compu-maniacs)
-
- 6) Time how long it takes for more bills to roll in. (because it seems
- like I get another bill every day !)
