WINALARM
(c)1993 Nathaniel S. Johnson
WinAlarm is a single popup alarm for Windows. This
program requires THREED.VBX (included) along with
VBRUN200.DLL (not supplied) to be in your Windows
System directory.
INSTALLING
(a) Copy WINALARM.EXE and WINALARM.HLP into a sub of your choice, then
(b) Copy THREED.VBX into your Windows System directory (see below
for an explanation of this installation procedure).
RUNNING
(a) Start WINALARM.EXE;
(b) Click on Message and type in a message of your choosing;
(c) Enter a time (i.e., 09:28:00) when you wish to be prompted;
(d) Click on Alarm off. This button becomes Alarm ON and the
main screen becomes an icon at the bottom of your screen.
(e) At the designated time, WinAlarm pops up over your current
application, flashes the message-title bar, beeps, and displays
bright colors along with the current time shown as a digital clock.
(f) At this point, you can click on Exit to terminate WinAlarm or
click the Alarm ON button. Alarm ON becomes Alarm Off and you're
ready to enter a new message and a new alarm time
(g) Where do you want WinAlarm to pop up? Drag the main screen
(as you would any Windows applet) to wherever you wish it to
pop up. Click on Exit and then restart WinAlarm. WinAlarm now
pops up where you last left it.
OtHER
There's a very good reason for putting VBRUN200.DLL (in fact, any
.DLL or .VBX file) into your Windows System directory. To begin with,
that's where Windows will look first for these files. Second, there
need only be one copy of these special files on your hard drive if
located in the Windows System dircetory. Some people have multiple
copies of VBRUN200 and/or VBRUN100 dll's on their hard drive. That's
a waste of space. Moreover, some applications will actually load faster
if they find these files in the proper place.
Another hint: Windows Help files (.HLP) want to live in your
Windows main directory/subdirectory. That's where the principal
Windows help file system resides anyway.
