- What is it?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
- Its a CLI Based clock program with many a difference! Instead of the
- boring old "12:44:33" etc. It says the time how you would say it i.e.
- "It's nearly half past two". This is not the only difference! The
- Talking Clock (TClock) can say the time in 7 languages and even say
- them in 'Elite' talk.
-
- Features:
- ~~~~~~~~~
- · Says the time how you would say it
-
- · Very small (About 20/40K In total)
-
- · Works with Workbench 2.04+
-
- · Speaks in 5 languages...
- · English
- · Swedish
- · Dutch
- · French
- · Gibberish (Weird English)
-
- · Elite is modular so works with any of the languages!
-
- · And a lot lot more!
-
- Requirements:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The Talking Clock (TClock) Requires....
- Workbench 2.04+
- ARexx server (RexxMast) running (It calls arexx commands)
- About 4K of memory!
-
- Usage:
- ~~~~~~
- To use either type:
- > TClock about
-
- Or if you want to use it this instance without looking at the pretty colours
- etc. =o) Type:...
- > TClock <language|about> [elite]
-
- where <language|about> is one of the following keywords....
-
- English, Swedish, Dutch, French, Gibberish, About
-
- [elite] is an optional parameter that when specified makes the output
- language 'elite'. A weird type of language used by people who _think_
- they are cool.
-
- Another nifty little trick that Giorgos 'Gallant' Stagakis pointed out is
- that if you type:
- > TClock <language> [elite] >:SPEAK
-
- It will speak the time in the language. Thanks Gallant! =o)
-
- Future:
- ~~~~~~~
- I hope to add the following features to future version(s)...
-
- · Italian, German, Spanish (Want to help? Email me!)
- · AmIRC and ChatBox Scripts so that you get the time on irc!
- · Even smaller and faster routines
- · Better Docs, I will sit down eventually and re-type these with an
- amigaguide version.
