- *****************************************************************************
-
- DayTime is a small memory resident program that in response to a
- hotkey will display the current day, date, and time. In this unregistered
- evaluation version, pressing the hot key combination <Ctrl-D> will cause
- the DayTime screen to pop up. Pressing any other key will then restore
- the underlying screen.
-
- OPERATION:
-
- Start DayTime by typing at the command line (DOS prompt):
-
- DAYTIME <Enter>
-
- You can also start DayTime from your "autoexec.bat". Enter the complete path
- and filename, which must include the drive and directory where the file
- "DAYTIME.COM" is kept. If the file is in your UTIL directory on drive C:,
- you would place in your "autoexec.bat" this line:
-
- C:\UTIL\DAYTIME
-
- Once DayTime has been started by either of the above methods, it
- can then be activated by pressing simultaneously the hot key
- combination <Ctrl-D>.
-
- When resident (in your computer's memory), DayTime occupies
- approximately 1200 bytes. On machines configured with upper memory
- blocks it may be loaded high, such as with the DOS LOADHIGH command or
- with a memory manager.
-
- If you should no longer wish to have DayTime in memory, it can be
- removed by simply typing:
-
- DAYTIME /U
-
- The 1200 bytes of memory will then be returned to your computer's memory
- bank.
-
- LIMITATIONS:
-
- This version of DayTime does not allow the hot key to be changed. The
- registered version does allow configuration of the hot key, which can be
- almost any combination of the Ctrl, Alt, or Shift keys with a
- keyboard (such as a number, letter, or function) key.

-
- DayTime should be used with caution in any program that operates in a
- graphics mode, such as Prodigy, or The Print Shop. Although the program
- (and DayTime) will work, the pop up screen will distort the underlying
- host's screen. This is not dangerous, but is somewhat annoying. Of all
- programs we tested, only the DOS EDIT and QBASIC programs will not
- function with DayTime. If you use these DOS programs, do not pop up
- DayTime while working in them. This is not a flaw with DayTime, but
- rather a hostility these two DOS programs exhibit toward all pop up type
- screens.
-
- We have not yet found any other software incompatibilities. Please
- read the enclosed file "SIXPACK.DOC".
-
- To register DayTime and have the ability to change the hot key combination
- to one of your choice, see the enclosed text file "ORDER.FRM".
