- - Optional hourly "beep"

-
- Requirements for running WinClock
- ----------------------------------------------------------
-
- - Microsoft Windows 3.0
- - WinClock (WINCLOCK.EXE)
-
- Running/Installing WinClock
- ----------------------------------------------
-
- Please note that the following directions assume you are using a
- mouse. If you are not using a mouse, please refer to your Windows
- documentation for equivalent keystrokes.
-
-
- 1. Copy WINCLOCK.EXE to your Windows directory or another directory
- of your choice.
-
- 2. Do one of the following:
-
- Note: Option D is highly recommended over A, B, and C.
-
- A. Click on "File" then "Run..." in the Program Manager menu.
- Type WINCLOCK.EXE (including the path) in the "Command
- line" edit box and click "OK". If you use this option,
- you will have to do this every time you want to run
- WinClock.
-
- B. Click on one of the program groups in the Presentation
- Manager (the "Accessories" group is suggested). Select
- "File" then "New..." from the program manager menu.
- Select "Program Item" and type WINCLOCK.EXE in the
- "Command line" edit box. For example, you might type:
- C:\WINDOWS\WINCLOCK.EXE if that was the directory into
- which you had copied WinClock. When you want to run
- WinClock, double click on the WinClock icon.
-
- C. On the line that says "load=" in your WIN.INI file,
- add WINCLOCK.EXE (with the appropriate path). For
- example, if you copied WINCLOCK.EXE to C:\WINDOWS,
- the line would say: load=C:\WINDOWS\WINCLOCK.EXE
-
- This option will automatically run WinClock each time
- you run Windows.
-
- D. Do both B and C, which will automatically run WinClock
- and allow you to run WinClock easily if you close it.
