Thank you for trying GONG v1.02!

GONG! is a simple program which installs two new sound events on your
computer.  You will now have a sound event for the top of the hour and
every quarter of an hour.  I have included 3 wav files and deposited
them in your WINDOWS\MEDIA directory.  They are just suggestions, use
whatever sounds you like!  To change them go to your Control Panel and
select Sounds.

To activate your new sound events GONG!.EXE (approx 25K) loads into memory
at startup.  It is extremely small and takes 0, I repeat ZERO, CPU cycles
except when it is playing the sound event(s).

VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!
If you would like GONG!'s sound events to run everytime you turn on your
computer must have a shortcut to GONG! in your STARUP folder.  To do this
do the following steps:

1) Place your mouse over the START button.
2) Right Click.
3) Select EXPLORE.
4) Double click on PROGRAMS.
5) Drag GONG! and drop it in STATUP
6) Pat yourself on the back and enjoy!



Technical Note:  Because the program is "suspended" in-between GONGS!
if you change the time while running Window's 95 GONG! won't notice until
it plays its sound and resets it timer to go back to sleep.  It will then
correct itself and GONG! at the appropriate time.  Changing the time
does not affect the operation of GONG! in any other manner and does not
cause an error.

GONG! has been completely tested for months on 5 computers mainly because
I was too lazy to make it available anytime sooner.  I am very confident
that this program is bug free.  Being a programmer it is usually a bad idea
to say something like that but being as this program consists of about
20 lines of code which I have carefully studied, traced, and tested many
times I am quite confident.

However, with that being said and being a firm believer in Murphy's Law
please contact me if anything goes amiss.  It is best to contact me via
email (try the following order until you get a response):

Thanks for giving my program a whirl.  I ask nothing in return but praise
which you can send to the above addresses.  As is usual in this type of
text I claim no responsibility for your computer melting down, the loss
of the most important report you've ever written, or the Apocalypse.

Bug Fix:
v1.0 : Default sound played when no wav selected.  Whoops.  Fixed in 5 seconds.
v1.01: Sometimes quarter hour sound played instead of hourly.  Increased
       tolerance so allow for systems that might get extremely busy and
       therefore might not trigger the interrupt exactly on time.
