MEMCLK ON|OFF|ALARM
* MEMCLK is for using a clock shown in the border of the actual
window. The current total free and chip free memory are also
shown. It can do a DisplayBeep (short flash on all screens) at a
specified time. The DisplayBeep can be converted into a sound
by using a PD-utility for that or using Workbench 2.1+ .
* Programmers: There will be only one "MemClock"-Task, even if you
run MEMCLK on many windows -> memory and CPU saving.
* MEMCLK ON switches the clock on or does nothing if it already
exist.
* MEMCLK OFF switches the clock off or does nothing if it does not
exist.
* MEMCLK ALARM shows the alarm time. If you type a time (see DATE )
after ALARM, you set the alarm time. (You cannot set an alarm date
or multiple times.) ( MEMCLK A is the same as MEMCLK ALARM )
eg. memclk on
memclk off
memclk alarm
memclk a 21:34:07
* The clock can also be used on non-ZShell windows, but MAKE SURE
that the clock is switched OFF BEFORE the window is CLOSED,
otherwise you will see THE GURU (or an ALERT with OS2.0+)
For example, to get a clock on the Workbench, type in ZShell
wait 5;memclk on
and press RETURN. Now you have 5 seconds to click on the Workbench
screen. For removing use "wait 5;memclk off" .
