DISCLAIMER
----------
Users of CLOCK must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
CLOCK is supplied as is. The author disclaims all
warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation,
the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or conse-
quential, which may result from the use of CLOCK.
DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
-----------------------
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
differ on details -- some request registration while others
require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs
and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
specific group. For example, some authors require written
permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it.

REGISTRATION AGREEMENT
----------------------
CLOCK is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the
user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but
please do not give it away altered or as part of another system.
The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal
computer users with quality software without high prices, and yet
to provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop new
products. This is not free software, if you continue to use CLOCK
after a reasonable trial period, you MUST make a registration
payment of $10.00 to Gamma Software or discontinue use. In order
for Gamma Software to be able to continue developing this product
we must receive support from those people who use it. We receive
no portion of any fees paid to shareware distributors. See the
next section, "How To Register", for details on how to register.
If you do not continue to use the program, but would like to offer
suggestions for future changes/enhancements to the program that
would make it useful to you then send them to the address below.
If any of your suggestions are implemented and you would like to
be notified when they are made then indicate such and also include
your address or Compuserve ID.
The $10.00 registration fee will license one copy for use on any one
computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like a
book. An example is that this software may be used by any number of
people and may be freely moved from one computer location to another,
so long as there is no possibility of it being used at one location
while it's being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by
two different persons at the same time.
Commercial users of CLOCK must register and pay for their copies of
CLOCK within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn.
Site-Licenses available. See the "How To Register" section, below.
CLOCK cannot be distributed for any kind of remuneration. It is
permissible for distributors to charge a reasonable fee for the
distribution of CLOCK but no fee can be charged for the CLOCK
software itself. Gamma Software reserves the right to withdraw
distribution rights from any and all distributors.
You are encouraged to pass a copy of CLOCK along to your
friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
copy if they find that they can use it.

ASP STATEMENT
-------------
This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware
Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware
principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a
shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member
directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you
resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide
technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP

CLOCK
_____________________________________________________________________
To load the CLOCK tsr simply change to the directory containing
the program and type "CLOCK". It should then display a copyright
for a couple of seconds and then display a shareware information
screen. Press any key to continue past this screen. The clock
should then be loaded and if it is still set to the original
configuration parameters it will display in the upper right corner
of your screen.
You can use the Left Shift+F10 key combination to enable and
disable the clock. When disabled the program remains in memory but
no longer updates the clock display.
The clock will not load if there is already one in memory. You
must first unload the one in memory (e.g. by re-booting) to load
the clock again.

CONFIGURATION
_____________________________________________________________________
The configuration program (CLCONFIG.EXE) is used to configure the
clock parameters. Both it and CLOCK.COM must be in the current
directory when it is executed. With this program you can
configure the row, column, color and hot key used by CLOCK.
When this program is loaded it displays 5 fields. Use Tab to move
to the next field and Shift+Tab to move to the previous field.
The first two fields set the start position at which the clock will
display. The row value starts with 0 at the top of the screen and
increments downward. The column value starts at 0 at the left and
increments to the right. Entering an invalid value in one of these
fields produces a beep and you cannot exit the field until a valid
value is entered.
The next two fields set the hot key. The first field sets the shift
key that will be used. Pressing the space bar toggles through the
possible selections. The next field sets the function key that
will be used. The space bar toggles through the selections. The
shift key and the function key together comprise the hot key. For
example if the shift key is set to "ALT KEY" and the function key
is set to "F7" then pressing Alt and F7 at the same time toggles
the clock display on and off.
The last field sets the color of the clock display. Use the right
and left arrow keys to select a color and the up and down arrow
keys to switch between configuring the foreground and background
color.
You must press Tab to process any changes to a field. Pressing
Esc discards any changes made to a field since first entering it.
When Esc is pressed a pop-up menu is displayed that lets you
either save the changes you have made or discard them. Use the
up and down arrow keys to highlight the desired selection and
press Enter. The program will then terminate.
Any changes made to the configuration parameters will not be seen
until the next time the clock is loaded.
