Reminder - by Matthew Bloch written for Olivia Kane
--------------------------- -----------------------
Have you ever been working on a picture in Paint, a document in Impression,
or a drawing in Draw, and for some inexplicable reason, there is a system
crash or something somewhere suffers a fatal error, and all your data is
washed down the drain? You haven't? Oh. Well don't bother reading this file.
However if you have, then this program is for you. All it does is every few
minutes (how many is up to you), it reminds you to save your work. OK, so
that's what it does, but how do you use it?
Just load it up in the normal fashion (double click on the icon in the filer
window) and the icon will appear on the icon bar. Clicking on it will reveal
the control panel which should consist of two arrows, a number and two icons
labelled OK and Save. To alter the time before the program reminds you to
save, either click on the up or down arrows (this will alter the time by one
minute) or click on the number and type in how long you want. When you are
satisfied, click OK. If you want to alter the message that the computer
displays, there is a box for you to write in another message. Clicking on the
Save icon will save the time and the message to disc so that next time you
use the program, these settings will be preserved.
Clicking the middle button over the icon on the icon bar reveals three
options: Info, Reset and Quit. The first and the third are self-explanatory,
but if you click on Reset, this will reset the timer to whatever intial value
you gave it.
Thanks to Joe Taylor for the Wimp library: If you want to learn how to
program the Wimp - get the August '92 issue of Archimedes World with his
library in it. It's well worth it.
This program is freeware which means you can copy it without charge to anyone
and PD libraries who don't have it can distribute it; however I retain copyright
over the program.
