- Delayer (tm) version 1.0 for Windows 3.1x/95/NT
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
- Copyright 1997 by Cottonwood Software All Rights Reserved
-
-
- Thank you for trying Delayer!
-
- Delayer has a simple function: to delay the execution of a program
- by a specified number of seconds (up to 24 days!).
-
- Why?
-
- Primarily this is used for programs in the StartUp group (which
- Windows runs automatically when starting) which don't operate
- properly if executed immediately, or multiple programs that
- need delays between them.
-
- This can also be used to do basic automation of programs, or with the
- 'repeat' function could be used to run a task every hour, for instance.
-
- Other use examples:
- Pop up a periodic reminder to take a break (or get back to work!)
- Periodically check E-mail, run diagnostics, etc.
- Automatically log off after 8 hours (assuming you have a program
- that will do that without user input.)
- Run a sequence of programs on startup (instead of running them all
- at once).
-
- If you find other good uses, please let us know!
-
- How?
-
- Delayer can only be used by setting up a Program Manager icon (or
- Start Menu/Desktop shortcut in Windows 95) to run Delayer with Command
- Line parameters.
-
- For usage details see the help file -- or simply run Delayer
- (you'll get an error, and then the correct command line syntax
- will be shown in the About dialog, along with a Help button).
-
- How much?
-
- Delayer is FREE! It is freely distributed "freeware". If you find
- it useful or would like to see what other programs we have created,
- please visit our web site: http://www.cottonwoodsw.com
-
- Enjoy!
