- Date Key Version 2.0
- Date Key 2.0 is an FKEY resource that, when invoked, types the
- current time or date (in a choice of formats) wherever the insertion
- point is in a program or desk accessory you are running. It operates
- just as if you had typed the date or time in yourself.
- Date Key should be installed with Dreams of the Phoenix's
- publicly available FKEY installer, or with Apple Computer's ResEd. It
- can be installed with any number from 5 to 9, or zero. As supplied, it
- will be FKEY resource number 6.
- The first time you invoke Date Key 2.0, it will present you with a
- configuration screen showing a choice of date or time, and a variety of
- formats for each; it will also ask you to send me money if you like
- Date Key, and give my address. After you choose your preferred format,
- click either the "Okay" button or the "Money Is In The Mail" button. If
- you click "Okay" Date Key 2.0 will use your chosen format for this invocation
- only. If you click "Money Is In The Mail," Date Key 2.0 will save your chosen
- format in a resource (type ' LBJ', ID = -1228) in the System file. Once
- there is such a resource in the System file, Date Key 2.0 will NOT continue to
- present the configuration file each time it is invoked. It will simply
- type in the date or time in the chosen format.
- If you want to change the format after you have saved a
- standard format, proceed as follows. Invoke Date Key 2.0 as usual, but do NOT
- release the Command key. While still holding the Command key down,
- press down the Option key. Once the Option key is down, release the
- Command key. You will be presented with the Configuration dialog box
- and can reconfigure Date Key 2.0 as you desire.
- Date Key 2.0 takes about 2500 bytes in your System file. If all
- you ever want to do is type in the current date in "standard" format --
- that is, Month Day, Year -- you will find Date Key 1.0 is a little
- quicker and quite a bit more compact (fewer than 500 bytes).
- Date Key 2.0 is shareware. Feel free to copy it and distribute it, free,
- to others. You cannot sell it. If you try it and find it useful, I ask
- that you send $3.00 to me:
