What is EClock?
***************
EClock is a Clock-prog (what else :-)) which can be started from the
CLI as well as from the Workbench. It's not extraordinary but it
includes some usefull features: EClock is able to pop up on the
momentary screen automatically, you can choose as many alert times as
you like ...
Why have I renamed Clock v2.2 into EClock?
Clock started as a little assembler program with a source code length of
about 4KB. Because many improvements were sent to me I included most of
them in this source to please your needs :-). But then suddenly I
reached a point from that on I was searching longer for where to insert
the improvement than coding that feature. (1) That's why I decided to
completely recode Clock, and change the name.
Because I had to learn Modula II at my university I bought a compiler
for my Amiga. I liked it so much that I decided to write the new EClock
in Modula II, to make it easier to include new features and remove bugs
...
The key-file for registered Clock users is of course the same one as
the one for registered EClock users. That means all registered (*Note
Registration: Registration) Clock Users can use EClock without that
requester going on your nerves, when you start EClock.
Differences Clock/EClock
************************
* There are two modi of EClock:
- UsePublicScreens only (*Note EClockPrefs: Main window
gadgets) (use only PublicScreens to appear on) and
therefore is mostly system conform.
- UseEveryScreen (uses every screen to appear on) is not
as system conform, but perhaps you want to have a clock
that appears also on screens like DPaint, PPaint ...
* EClock now consists of three parts.
- EClock, the main program (*Note EClock: EClock), that is
active the hole time.
- EClockPrefs, the configuration program (*Note
EClockPrefs: EClockPrefs).
- And ERequester (*Note ERequester: ERequester), that is
started, whenever you wish an alert requester to appear.
This division was made, because you don't often have to use the
configuration program and therefore don't have to waste the
memory for this part of EClock.
* EClock has no limitation of the number of alert times.
(*Note timer-prefs: EClockPrefs timer window). They are
depending only of the amount of memory you have and from the amount
of processor time you want EClock to give for handling the
alert times.
* EClock supports wildcards. That means you can use e.g.
"??:00:00#?" for an hourly alert or "(??:00:00#?|??:30:00#?)"
for an half hourly alert.
* EClock is now also able to start an alert at a special date or
day. Wirldcards are of course supported so that you can e.g.
enter "(Thu#?|Fr#?)" for Thursday and Friday. (Be carefull
this is localized)
* EClock will replace the following 3 characters in the
requester text:
`\'
This character will be changed to a return, so that a new
line is started in the requester window. Now you are able
to create nicer looking requesters with as many lines as
you like :-).
`%t'
This character will be replaced by the time the requester is
started.
`%d'
This character will be replaced by the date the requester is
started.
* Now, you can define as many screens, as you like to open
EClock on. (*Note screen-prefs: EClockPrefs screen window).
You can select the x- and y-position ... where EClock should
open its window on that screen. EClock will always prefer
screens, that are placed above other ones in the listview
gadget.
