NAME
HFK
VERSION
39.45
AUTHOR

DESCRIPTION
HFK is yet another TitleBar clock, which tries too look like part
of your Workbench title bar. It actually opens a very small, non-
draggable window in the upper right corner of the screen. HFK opens
on the default public screen, which will usually be Workbench.
OK, so why should you use HFK instead of any other clock available
on the Amiga? Firstly, HFK uses almost 0% of CPU time, as it is
written very efficiently in C, taking advantage of the timer.device.
This means that HFK has to wake up only once a minute to render the
time.
Secondly, HFK is NOT CONFIGURABLE! Why is this an advantage? Well,
if you like it, you will love it, and if you dont like it, then
get nicked! HFK is a simple clock, that's all. To quit HFK, all you
have to do is run it again!
Finally, HFK will only work under Workbench 3.0 (V39) and above, as
it uses the extended DrawInfo structure to render itself in the same
colours as your title bar, hence looking very sexy.
Oh yeah, I take no responsability for any evil things this program
may do to your system, although it has been thoroughly tested.
REVISION HISTORY
39.30 Initial release
39.32 Fixed MAJOR bug, 39.31 and below would stop working after
midnight!
39.35 AT LAST! Fixed the last remaining bug! I wasnt handling fonts
correctly, resulting in random crashes. Hooray!
Now HFK 'toggles'. If you are already running HFK, running it
again will cause it to exit! No more TaskX!
Stack set to 1000 bytes (this is more than enough). Had the
stack set higher before cause I though it was causing that
'mystery bug'.
39.40 Guess what? The above problem was not the major bug :( The bug
was I was forgetting to call Forbid(); before replying to the
workbench message.. now fixed, and clock works 100%
39.41 Program has been working flawlessly. One *minor* change, and
added HFK24 for those people asking for 24 hour time. Too
lazy to use tooltypes. Besides, code size is kept to a
minimum, which is my #1 priority.
39.45 Many optimisations, saving many k's :)
Fixed unnoticed bug in public screen handling; wasnt opening as
a visitor window
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Kickstart/Workbench 3.0 or above.
DISTRIBUTION
HFK is freely distributable. It is a gift from me to the Amiga
community worldwide. However, the archive may not be modified
in any way. The only duty you have as user of HFK is to send me
email to say you like it, or say hi to me on irc! (my nick is 'herb')
HFK should be available on all aminet sites, and will be initially
uploaded to ftp.luth.se.
