- There is a small confusion in this script which fortunatelu does not
- affect its fucntionality unless the file is large or the connection
- is slow. I confused seconds and tenth's of a second. Thus, for
- example
- tmark = timer_start(30); // Allow thirty seconds
- should be
- tmark = timer_start(300); // Allow thirty seconds
-
- I'll correct that in the soon-to-be next release, which will also
- add, at least, a simple script I wrote for alterting the user when a
- certain amount of time has expired. This idea came from a question
- from a user on the news (on a country-leven newsgroup) who feels we
- is spending too much time connected. Sometimes the net unknowingly
- produces interesting little programming ideas.
