WS-TIMER Version 3.51
WS-TIMER is Freeware for personal, non-commercial use. You may
freely distribute WS-TIMER, as long as all files from the archive
are included.
June 15, 1995 - Version 3.51
Corrected a bug in reading the new WIN.INI function.
June 14, 1995 - Version 3.50
Added a feature to save the alarm setup.
Removed the stay-on-top clock when running without the ON switch.
The log files can now be viewed just by clicking on which log to
view. The file for each selection that will be loaded for you is
based on which letter was use in the command line.
The stay-on-top window now also displays which file switch was
used on the command line.
The file switch is also displayed in the title above the current
time and date.
You no longer require the entry in your autoexec.bat file. This
will be taken care of by the setup program and the information
required by WS-TIMER will be placed at the bottom of your WIN.INI
file.
You will have to reset your provider's next period start date, if
this function was existing in the last version you had installed.
June 11, 1995 - Version 3.40
Changed the spelling of length in the period setup window.
Corrected a bug for first time users when creating the log files.
Implemented a start and re-start button. The Start button is for
when you run WS-TIMER with only the A switch and would like to
start the timer. This will be handy for those using a TCP Manager
that does not have a command EXEC, like the one found in the
Trumpet Winsock script. This way you will be able to run WS-TIMER
before you dial and when you get connected all you have to do is
click on start.
The Re-Start button was requested my many users. When WS-TIMER's
clocks are running you will only see the Stop button. After you
click on the Stop button, this will change to two buttons, an
Exit and a Re-Start. Re-Start behaves in the same manner as if
you had just ran WS-TIMER with the ON A switch. This will create
and log a new session.
June 4, 1995 - Version 3.32
Changed the color scheme for those with monochrome laptops.
June 4, 1995 - Version 3.31
Corrected a problem in the way the date was processed when
updating the DAYHIST?.TXT file.
Copyright (c) 1995, Lou's Software Development Page 1
June 3, 1995 - Version 3.30
Changed the monthly log file to a user defined period and now
refer to this log as Period. If you are on a monthly account you
will have to enter 99 (default after installation) in the period
length variable in the setup. Those users with a weekly period
will have to enter a 7. If you are on a monthly account the
HISTORY?.TXT file will be written with the month and year for the
period. If you are on a variable period (every 7 days or 15 days
etc.) the date recorded in the HISTORY?TXT file is the first day
of the period.
May 29, 1995 - Version 3.20
Added a setup for variable starting period for monthly log file.
The first time you run WS-TIMER you will have to enter this date
in the Period Start. You will find this setup under File, Setup,
and Period Start. The date you enter here is the first day of
your provider's next statement period.
May 27, 1995 - Version 3.12
Corrected the title bar in the about box.
I am no longer including COMMDLG.DLL and DDEML.DLL, since these
have been nothing but problems during the setup.
May 1, 1995 - Version 3.11
Made change in the code for the stay-on-top window. If a user was
in 1024X768 mode on some graphic cards the window would slip
upwards after every start.
At the turn of the month, the months total did not get written to
the history?.txt file.
April 28, 1995 - Version 3.10
Changed the format of the date in all log files. The format is
now appropriate for the country specified in the International
dialog of the Windows Control Panel.
Changed the current time and date window to only one window. The
format is now appropriate for the country specified in the
International dialog of the Windows Control Panel.
April 25, 1995 - Version 3.01
Made the History window wider so that you can view the full width
of the contents of SESSION?.TXT.
April 23, 1995 - Version 3.00
Added the multimedia alarm clock.
Added a new log file called "SESSION?.TXT". This file keeps track
of all your individual logons. The contents of this file includes
Copyright (c) 1995, Lou's Software Development Page 2
the logon session number, the logon time, the logoff time, and
the total time for the session.
April 4, 1995 - Version 2.20
The location of the stay-on-top window is now recorded when you
exit WS-TIMER.
April 2, 1995 - Version 2.12
1. Rewrite of the code that updates the timer. In previous
version some time was lost when the disk drives where accessed.
If this happens now the time will correct itself.
2. Added an autosave feature, which will same your on-line time
every five minutes. This way if you have a total crash of Windows
or your machine you will only loose five minutes at the most.
March 29, 1995 - Version 2.02
WS-TIMER now requires the environment string in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file:
SET WSTIMER=C:\WSTIMER
Replace the directory and drive to reflect your setup. You will
have to reboot your computer for this change to take place.
March 27, 1995 - Version 2.00
1. Added a new timer in the main window to keep track of total
daily time. This timer is reset each day. A new history file
called DAYHIST?.TXT will be updated daily.
2. The today clock will now run on top, so you can watch your
time on-line while using any applications. You can choose from
<This Call>, <Today>, and <Month> clocks or <None> to stay on top
with the setup option under files. When you exit setup your
choice will saved to SETUP.INI for future reference.
3. You can now view the history file from within WS-TIMER.
4. Changed the font style and size to reduce the window size.
5. If you have more than one provider as the case was for many
users you will now be able to keep track of each provider
separately. Just add a letter from A - Z to your command line in
your login script. The command line line should now look like
this:
EXEC "c:\wstimer\wstimer.exe ON A"
Where ON is to turn the timer on and A is to add to the filename
for the three files created by WS-TIMER. Both commands have to be
part of the command line. If you omit the A or any other letter
Copyright (c) 1995, Lou's Software Development Page 3
all file names will end with an N.
Note: If you are upgrading from a previous version you will have
to copy the two HISTORY files (in some older case just one) to
the WS-TIMER directory and the WSTIMER.INI file. All three of
these file will have to me renamed adding an A as the eight digit
in the name (e.g. WSTIMER.INI -> WSTIMERA.INI). This letter must
be the same as the one on your command line. You will also have
to modify your command line in your login script to reflect these
changes. You will also have to modify the WSTIMER.INI and add
three rows with zero for the daily time above the others. Her is
an example of the contents of my WSTIMER.INI I have added the
description on the right so you can understand the meaning of
each numbers. In previous versions of WS-TIMER, before it kept
track of daily time the first three numbers where not saved. That
is why if you are upgrading you must modify your INI file as
describe above, or you will loose your accumulated time.
