The Pop-Up Alarm Clock from Bellsoft, Inc. (POPALARM.EXE) claims to
allow two modes of operation for all functions:
1. After setting up the Alarm Clock, using Alt-A to enter
alarm times, new configurations, etc.
2. Enter alarm times, etc. WHILE setting up the Alarm Clock,
by typing the options on the command line after POPALARM.
However, the "timed feed" option cannot be invoked from the command
line because it requires a carriage return within the feed string. The
documentation does not offer any way to insert a carriage return in the
command line.
To set up a timed feed when invoking the POPALARM program, set up the
following file called (for example) AUTOFEED.POP:
f=3:00 "command (Note how each command is
command2 followed by a carriage
" return.)
Then set up the Alarm Clock by typing:
POPALARM @AUTOFEED.POP
The Alarm Clock will now include your timed feed string, complete with
carriage returns.
When I set up the Alarm Clock, I use a batch file with the following
lines:
popalarm l=tr d=h b=o (Sets up options.)
popalarm @autofeed.pop (Sets up timed feed.)
--BUGFIND: Edward Fischer
--BUGFIX: Roy Harper

popalarm @autofe
