- QuickAlarm Version 1.40F
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- QuickAlarm is for you, if you
- - wanted to make a 5-minute-tea and it became a ten minute brew,
- - left your car at the parking meter and had to get it back from
- the police,
- - took a short nap and got waken up by your boss,
- - boiled a 3-minute-egg which became like concrete,
- - ...
- and all that, because you just did not set an alarm, 'cause for that you would
- have had to press (at least) one key too much (you lazy one)! (For me it was
- the tea which made me write this program...)
-
- With QuickAlarm you specify in advance the time left until an alarm will ring,
- the sound which will be played and a message up to 64 characters. Each alarm
- specified will show up underneath the QuickAlarm icon. All you have to do to
- set the alarm is place the cursor on the desired item and press enter. A small
- beep sequence will tell you that the alarm has been set (you may check it in
- TIME). You can specify whether you want these beeps to be loud, quiet or not
- hearable at all ;-).
- To cancel an alarm use TIME.
- Specify a new one pressing Psion-N on the file list. Delete an alarm
- specification using the system screen (delete file). If you specify "00:00:00"
- as time interval you will be asked to enter a time when setting the alarm. You
- then even may chose between absolute time (e. g. quarter past three) or
- relative time (e. g. 16 minutes from now) and may change the default message
- text and the confirmation beeps.
- Good practice may be to use beeps for totally predefined alarms and no beeps
- for those which ask you for the time (specified duration of 00:00:00).
-
- To install the English version of QuickAlarm copy the files to your Psion as
- follows:
- \APP\QUICKALM.OPA
- \APP\QUICKALM\ENGLISH.LNG
- \ALM\*.QAL (optional, the supplied files are examples)
-
- I recommend to install QuickAlarm so that it can be easily accessed:
- either set Ctrl-Time to point to QuickAlarm or install it as the first
- or last item in system screen (what I did).
-
- If you prefer to install QuickAlarm in a different language, please copy the
- *.LNG file of your choice instead of ENGLISH.LNG into the given directory.
- If no file for your language is supplied, this is because no one has been
- found to do the translation work yet! In this case it will be most appreciated
- if you would just send me the translated file TRANSLAT.TXT. It would be even
- better, if you could supply a translation of this file (README.TXT) as well!
-
- --- LEGAL STUFF ---------------------------------------------------------------
- QuickAlarm is released as FreeWare, you have the one and only right to use this
- program for the intended purpose. You may not in any way reverse translate the
- program. You may distribute the program provided that you keep all supplied
- files together and do not charge anything for it.
- Although this program has been carefully tested I can not guarantee that it
- works as desired.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Please send me an eMail, fax or postcard and tell me whether you use (or don't
- use) this program and how you like (or dislike) QuickAlarm and what you wish to
- be done in future versions (if any).
-
- Please report all bugs you find.
-
- Have fun!
