- YABWEYE - Yet Another B!*@&y Windows Eye Program.
- =================================================
-
- YABWEYE is a cursor tracking "eyes" program that also monitors system
- resources and displays the current time. It also has a "Get out of Windows
- Quick" option.
-
- Copyright 1992 by KittSoft.
-
- This distribution consists of :-
- README.TXT This file.
- YABWEYE.EXE YABWEYE executable.
- YABWEYE.INI YABWEYE .INI file.
-
-
- Installation.
- -------------
- YABWEYE.EXE should be copied to somewhere on your default path.
- YABWEYE.INI has to be in your Windows sub-directory to be useful.
-
- YABWEYE.INI
- -----------
-
- [YabWEye]
- IntFreq=200
- UpdateFreq=10
- WarningPerCent=30
-
- Currently YABWEYE.INI consists of three parameters.
-
- 1. IntFreq - This is the time (in milliseconds) between interupts for
- updating the eye positions. The default of 200 gives five updates a second.
- A smaller value will update the positions more often giving smoother
- movement of the eye, but 200 seems a reasonable compromise.
-
- 2. UpdateFreq - This determines how often the title is updated to
- display the current time, FSR etc. The parameter is the number of
- "IntFreq" interrupts that are needed for each update of the title. The
- default gives an update interval of two seconds.
-
- 3. Warning Per Cent. This is the value for warning of low free system
- resources (FSR). If the FSR falls below this level, a warning message box
- will be displayed.
-
-
- Display.
- --------
- On each update interrupt, YABWEYE displays its information in the title
- of the icon (or window).
- YABWEYE displays the time, the FSR, then one of the following
-
- The extra bits of info are :-
- % GDI Free.
- % User area free.
- Windows up time.
- Number of tasks running.
- Processor type.
- Windows mode.
- Amount of free memory.
-
-
- Exit Windows option.
- --------------------
- if this option is selected from the system menu, YABWEYE calls the Windows 3
- function "ExitWindows" to finish the current Windows session. Basically this
- is like choosing the "Exit Windows..." option from the program manager, but
- without the confirmation box. BE WARNED!
-
-
- Disclaimer.
- -----------
- The usual disclaimers apply. The program carries no warranty and the
- author assumes no liability for its use. Basically I'm not resposible for
- anything at all.
-
- The Bottom Line.
- ----------------
- YABWEYE is BeerWare.
- If you find YABWEYE useful (and/or amusing) buy the programmer a
- beer. Send the cost of beer (in local bank notes), if it's useful, but not
- worth a beer, just send a postcard/letter.
