Alarm README file
Version 1.6a (32-bit version)
**************************************************************
Alarm is an easy-to-use but full-featured alarm system for Windows. It allows the user to set an
unlimited number of alarms with reminder notes attached to them. Alarms may be scheduled to
recur at pre-defined (or post-defined) intervals. Its install program will place its icon in your
startup group.
The program also features a SNOOZE interval function, and the ability to modify an existing
alarm. It uses Windows multimedia capabilities to play customizable sounds (WAV, MID, and
AVI) for alarms, and can also launch programs.
Some of the features in Alarm that may be of interest include:
* Recurring alarms: Once, daily, weekdays, weekly, monthly, annually, and custom recurrence
* Recurring alarms can have a termination date ("Repeat until:")
* Per alarm customizable "Don't remind after x minutes" (Range: 0-999)
* Day of week display when setting alarms
* Customizable alarm note fonts and colors
* Calendar control for selecting dates
* An unlimited number of alarms
* An unlimited number of collections of alarms (files)
* WAV, MID, and AVI alarms sounds (and images), which can be individually set for each alarm; select via Browse Button or drop down listbox.
* Alarms always editable
* Configurable snooze time, determined per alarm, after alarm has fired
* Snooze for up to 999 minutes, hours or days
* Large alarm note field: up to 2,147,483,647 characters
* Note field is always editable
* Always-on-Top option
* Status bar and dockable toolbar
* Context-sensitive help
* Screen location memory
* It's not interpreted (like Visual Basic code); it's compiled. On most systems, there will be a perceivable speed difference.
If you are not running a 32-bit version of Windows (i.e., Win NT, Win 95), download the 16-bit version of Alarm.
