MCLOCK is a Windows' clock application with some nifty features.
Unlike regular clocks it's a little smarter and incorporates a chime
feature such that it will re-surface on your desktop every time the
chime period is reached. This value along with other parameters can be
set to your preferences.
MCLOCK also incorporates a countdown timer with a selectable one time
tickler message. This will come in handy when you need to remember a
late notice meeting or an event that you have to attend to. The
countdown feature helps you enter a relative time rather then a
pre-determined fixed time. For example:
- In 15 minutes call back John 216-4567
- In 30 minutes, Check the baby's diapers
- 1 hour and half from now, Verify that the backup has finished correctly

SRM is a Service Request management system for tracking defects
associated with any product development. The system is also capable
of being customized for tracking other issues (perhaps at the
individual level) such as tracking tasks progress, todo items,
etc...
This system can be used by a single user or setup for multi-users.
Features:
- Integrity: Although this tracking system make use of the DBX
database system (a DBMS maintained in ASCII form) which offers the
ability to directly edit complete records using any ASCII editor, the
default SRM setup does not give direct access to the records raw data
but rather it uses a well controlled field level access.
- User level customization: For example each user can configure
his own ASCII editor to edit free form fields, his/her file viewer.
Other customizations are also available.
- Data validation via interactive configurable
pick lists and required fields specifications.
- Concurrency control via record level locking, for multi-user
support.
- Audit trail (Maintain Creation and Modification date, other
tracking are possible )
- Multi-Environment Support: Runs in DOS, Windows, (NT) (soon in OS/2)
- Very Low memory requirements, fast execution.
- Can make use of your mail system for notifications. (Is
also capable of integrating other tools such as version control).
- Extensible and Highly customizale (eg. for tracking additional
metrics, hooking up mail or/and a revision control system).
- Data export capabilities.
