- Note: This program is Freely Distributable, as opposed to Public
- Domain. Permission is given to freely distribute this program
- provided no fee is charged, and this documentation file is
- included with the program.
-
-
- DClock makes use of the reqtools.library, which is not part of
- the distribution. It is available on Aminet or on the Amiga soft-
- ware library (fish) disks.
-
-
- DClock is a Digital Clock program for the Amiga. You need OS2.04+
- for this program to work. The installation is very easy: Simply
- drag the DClock icon to the WBStartup drawer. DClock can also be
- started with a doubleclick on it's icon or via the CLI.
-
-
- If DClock immediately returns after startup, check whether you
- have
- Kickstart V37+
- reqtools.library V38+
- a public screen called 'Workbench'
- enough free memory
-
-
- While the DClock window is active, you can chose the following
- menu items:
-
- Snapshot Position: Save the window's current position to
- ENVARC:DClock.prefs
-
- Foreground Color : Set the foreground (text) color
-
- Background Color : Set the background color (who would have
- guessed...)
-
- Seconds (toggle) : Display seconds on/off
-
- Alarm on (toggle): Turn alarm function on/off
-
- Timer on (toggle): Turn timer function on/off
-
- Set alarm clock : Set the alarm time
-
- Set timer : Set the timer
-
- Save Preferences : Save all the settings to S:DClock.prefs
-
- About... : Information about me ;)
-
- Quit : Call the Terminator
-
-
- When you select `Save Preferences' or `Snapshot Position' from
- the Project menu, the state of the alarm clock will be saved,
- too. The alarm will then be automatically turned on after start-
- up (if it was on when you saved the prefs, off course).

- HISTORY
- ================================================================
-
- V1.0 Apr 1994 o Initial release
-
- V1.1 Jun 1994 o DClock now runs three independent tasks:
- - User interface (DClock)
- - Updating of the DClock window, timer etc.
- (DClockTask)
- - display information when alarm went off or
- timer is finished (DClockInfo).
- Advantage: Clock and timer won't be stopped tem-
- porarily while a window/requester is open. You
- can get informed now when the timer/alarm went
- off while a window/requester is open.
-
- o Bug: The alarm and timer symbols were drawn with
- incorrect offsets, so that the display got mes-
- sed if big screen fonts were used.
-
- o The settings are now stored in ENVARC:DClock.prefs
- You can copy your old DClock.prefs file from S: to
- ENVARC: if you want to use your old settings.
