-
- Have you ever wished you could use
-
- your Commodore 64 as an alarm clock?
-
- With the built-in clock and fantastic
-
- graphic and sound capabilities, the
-
- C-64 seems to be the perfect
-
- candidate for an alarm clock.
-
- ALARM CLOCK keeps track of the
-
- current time, A.M. or P.M., as well
-
- as a time to sound the alarm.
-
- The seconds may be displayed in the
-
- middle of the screen in large numbers
-
- by pressing the '1' key. After three
-
- seconds, the screen will return to
-
- showing the time in large numbers.
-
- To set A.M. or P.M., press the '2'
-
- key. The computer then asks for AM
-
- or PM. Answer 'A' for AM and 'P' for
-
- PM.
-
- To display AM or PM, press the '3'
-
- key. The screen will show AM or PM
-
- for two seconds. The screen will
-
- then return to showing the time.
-
- Pressing the '4' key will sound the
-
- alarm. If the volume is too high,
-
- turn down the volume. If you don't
-
- think it is loud enough to wake you up
-
- in the morning, turn the volume up.
-
- To turn off the alarm, just press any
-
- key. The computer will return to
-
- showing the time.
-
- To set the alarm, press the '5' key.
-
- The computer will then ask for a time.
-
- You are to enter it as 0100-1259.
-
- Don't use colons or seconds. As an
-
- example, 1259 = 12:59. After you set
-
- the alarm time, the computer will ask
-
- for AM or PM. To set the alarm to the
-
- correct setting, input either 'AM' or
-
- 'PM' to this prompt. Remember to
-
- press RETURN after you have input the
-
- AM or PM information.
-
- By pressing '6', you can see what
-
- time the computer is set to go off at.
-
- After eight seconds, the screen will
-
- return to showing the time.
-
- To change screen color press the
-
- '7' or '8' key.
-
- To exit this program and return to
-
- the PowerPlay program menu, press the
-
- 'q' key.
