- TIMER V1.0 5th August 1991 (c) 1991 Huw Millington
-
- Introduction
-
- TIMER is a small Windows application that can be used as a
- timer or a stopwatch. It incorporates custom bitmap buttons
- which make it a pleasure to use and look at.
-
-
- Using TIMER
-
- Copy TIMER to your Windows directory and add it to any of
- Program Managers' groups, using the File/New... menu.
- Start TIMER by double-clicking on its icon. Its small
- unobtrusive window will be displayed in the bottom right
- corner of the screen.
-
- Control of the timer is via three push-buttons, which can be
- selected using the mouse, or by pressing <tab> to highlight
- the required button, then pressing <space>.
-
-
- Set... Allows the time-out period to be set, from 1 to 60
- minutes. The default value is 10 minutes.
-
- Start Starts the timer. Whilst the timer is running, the
- time remaining is displayed in the window title bar,
- so it is still visible when iconised. The Start and
- Set... keys are disabled once the timer has been
- started.
-
- Stop Stops the timer, if required, before the time-out
- period. The time elapsed since the timer was started
- is displayed. This key is disabled until the timer has
- been started.
-
- At the end of the time-out period, a message box is displayed.
-
- Notes
-
- TIMER was written mainly as an exercise in creating custom
- controls using Turbo Pascal For Windows and a custom control
- unit written by Shawn Aubrey Baker obtained from CompuServe.
- However you may find it useful for timing game moves, such as
- Chess etc.
-
- TIMER has been tested on VGA and 800x600 displays. I do not
- know what it will look like at other resolutions.
-
- Apologies for the large size of the executable. That is the
- price you have to pay to have bitmap buttons!
-
- The program is hereby placed in the public domain. No
- responsibility will be taken for loss or damage caused by
- using it.
-
- Any comments/bug reports etc. would be greatly appreciated.
