IMPORTANT FOR THOSE WHO ALREADY USE THE CLOCK-PROGRAM
*****************************************************
If you already used a Clock version < 2.0 then you have to delete the
config-file in the S: -directory since the format has changed.
What is Clock ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Clock 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
a little feature: Clock is able to pop up on the momentary screen
automatically ...
Installation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can copy the icon wherever you want. The best place will be your
boot-disk. The program can be started from the Workbench as well as from
the CLI.
Now you can also copy the "ClockConfig"-File on your S: -directory,
"sam" on your C: -directory and "Glocke" (german word for Bell) on your
L: -directory (only necessary if you want to use the enclosed
"Glocken"-module). Now you are perfectly safe in starting the program.
Another possibility to install Clock is to double-click the Install Icon.
If the directory "SYS:WBStartup" exists Clock will be put there; otherwise
it will be put in the c: directory. If you´ve got the registered Version of
Clock your Keyfile will be put on your boot disc.
How to start the program:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Workbench: simply double-click on the icon.
You can also put Clock in your WBStartup drawer.
CLI: you have the possibility to start the clock with the following
parameters
- "?" : a short description of the program
- "-cConfig-File" : Any Config-File (70 chars max.)?
e.g. -cs:ClockConfig
- "-sSreenName" : Name of the Screen, you like Clock to open
on; Use SPACES without " e.g. -sTHE ANSWER
Project menu
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Date
----
Switching on this menu-item the clock-window widen and the actual date
will appear beside the time. The format of the date is changeable
("Other Prefs"). This option is "saveable".
Memory
------
If you choose this menu-item the clock-window widen again and you will
get information about the free memory, subdivided to chip, fast and
total-memory (C: F: T:) shown in bytes (or kilobytes on Lores screens).
You can save this option too.
If you've activated Memory and Date at the same time then the date will
be displayed at the left, the Memory in the middle and the time at the
right of the window.
If the Clock window is opened on a Lores Screen then only the Memory
is shown (because of the space).
Select Alert Prefs
------------------
Here appears a window that looks like that:
____________________________________________________
| AlarmPreferences: |
|----------------------------------------------------|
| _ _________ _ _______________________ _ _ |
||1| |**:**:** | |#| | | |r|s| |
|~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ |

. ( 4 times)
.
| ________ ______ |
| | Go On | |CANCEL| |
| ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let´s start with the Gadget on the top left:
If this Gadget is activated that means that the alert number 1
is active.
In the next Gadget (|**:**:**|) you can enter the alert time.
The time is needed in this format:
HH:MM:SS
^ ^ ^----\
Hours Minutes Seconds
(24h)
e.g.: 16:20:59 means: 4:20 PM and 59 seconds !
If you've selected "American time" in the "Other Prefs" Window, you
have to enter the time in this format: HH:MM:SS*
^ either "P" for PM
or "A" for AM
It is necessary to use capital Letters for "A" and "P"!
e.g.: 04:20:59P means: 4:20 PM and 59 seconds !
If you´ve got the reqtools.library in your LIBS: directory you can use
the next Gadget. It will appear a file-requester where you can choose a
program that should be started if the alert time is reached. This name
will be put in the next String Gadget.
If you´ve got a nice Sound-program (e.g. sam, that is included in this
packet © in 1988 by Nic Wilson) that you like to use as bell just type
the name in the string-gadget.
The length of a filename inclusively its parameter is restricted to 70
chars.
If you want to start a program while the clock shall go on running, you
have to choose the next ("r") gadget. It's necessary that the file
RUNBACK exists in your directory C: (If you don't have RUNBACK you can
also use RUN but first you have to rename a copy of RUN to RUNBACK, or
use the included ERunBack command (in the c directory of the Clock
Package) an rename it into Runback).
By using the sound-gadget ("s") you can choose if you want to have the
sinus sound as alarm or not.
The next line includes 2 Gadgets:
the first from left says if a Requester should pop up, when the alert-time
is reached. The Text of that Requester you choose by typing it in the
string-gadget that is in the right of the first gadget in this line.
The next lines are for alert number 2 - 4.
If you want the changes to be used click "Go On", else click "Cancel".
