README.TXT - WorldTime for Windows
Version: 2.0a S
Release Date: 6/1/92
Product Documentation
This file contains important installation/usage notes!
We recommend that all users read through this file first,
before attempting to install or run WorldTime 2.0a.
Users new to WorldTime should also read through the ASCII
text file, WTIME20.TXT, which contains more detailed program
information.
INTRODUCTION
------------
WorldTime for Windows is an easy-to-use world clock utility
for the Microsoft Windows operating environment. WorldTime
allows you to track the current time in over 150 metropolitan
and geographic locations around the world.
VIDEO MODE NOTES
----- ---- -----
WorldTime for Windows (Version 2.0a) requires a minimum
EGA-resolution, and will display adequately under that
640x350 standard. However, we strongly recommend running
WorldTime at standard VGA (640x480) or Super-VGA (800x600).
WorldTime 2.0a has been thoroughly tested on a variety of
systems equipped with a number of different video card and
driver combinations.
We generally recommend making use of the VGA and Super-VGA
drivers supplied with Microsoft Windows; in testing, these
video drivers actually outperform many third-party drivers
supplied with VGA and Super-VGA graphics cards.
If you are making use of a third-party video driver, you
can greatly reduce the likelihood of display problems by
checking to make sure you have installed the latest version
of your driver. Most video card companies routinely update
their video driver libraries to keep pace with emerging
standards or (in the case of Windows 3.1) new releases of
the host environment. These updates are usually made
available to customers via electronic bulletin board.
Although version 2.0a corrects all known problems with the
use of higher resolutions (e.g., 1024x768), we generally
do not recommend running WorldTime at resolutions greater
than 800x600.
Addition information on video drivers is supplied in the
ASCII text file, WTIME20.TXT.
PROGRAM FILES
------- -----
The WorldTime 2.0a package consists of five files:
README.TXT
WTIME20.EXE
WTIME20.INI
WTIME20.HLP
WTIME20.TXT
READ ALL ABOUT IT
---- --- ----- --
Product documentation is contained in the WTIME20.TXT file. This
is an ASCII text file which can be easily loaded and viewed with
Windows Notepad, Windows Write, or any word processor or text
editor that supports the ASCII text format. This file includes a
program description, instructions, and technical notes.
Hypertext program documentation is supplied in the WTIME20.HLP
file. This is a Windows Help System format file, which can be
loaded and viewed with Windows Help -- and is directly accessed
from within WorldTime via the menu bar "Help/Contents" command.
Both of these files contain all the information you need to
install and run this program. The Windows Help System includes
the provision for easily printing any topic or topics from the
WTIME20.HLP file. This handy feature can be used to turn your
"manual on disk" into hard copy for future reference.
QUICK & DIRTY START-UP
----- - ----- --------
The best thing you can do before attempting to install or run
WorldTime for Windows is to read this file in its entirety, and
then read the WTIME20.TXT file as well. However, you may want
to get "up and running" right away. If this is the case, and
you are an experienced computer user comfortable with DOS
commands, the information in this section might be all you need
to get started...
Again, once WorldTime is installed, you can always refer back
to the WTIME20.TXT file -- or make use of WorldTime's help
file, WTIME20.HLP via the Windows Help System (accessed from
WorldTime's menu bar "Help/Contents" command).
First, we recommend that you make a backup copy of the master
program disk(s) before installing or running WorldTime.
We also recommend that this program be installed to, and run
from, a hard disk.
To get this program loaded and running with a minimum of
fuss, simply create a new directory or subdirectory on your
hard disk (e.g., C:\WTIME or C:\WINAPPS\WTIME) and copy the
entire contents of your master disk(s) to that new directory.
From Microsoft Windows, you can run this program from File
Manager by "double-clicking" the WTIME20.EXE file entry or by
selecting the WTIME20.EXE file entry and issuing the menu bar
"File/Run" command.
Of course, WorldTime's icon can be easily installed into a
new or existing Program Manager group for quick, one-step
running.
