This is a simple program I wrote to keep track of time spent on
different projects.  It can be useful, I imagine, to anyone who is in a
similar position of spending the day working on multiple projects and
wishing to keep track of the time spent on each one.

The program is a series of auto radio buttons.  They control a series of
10 mutually exclusive timers.  When you click on one of the timers, that
clock starts running and which ever clock had been running stops.

I was thinking that I'd like to have a bunch of clocks all in a row.
When I activated one, the others would all stop.  I imagined using stop
watches or a series of alarm clocks, but once again, some simple
software and the PC solves the problem very neatly.

I intend to add some additional features to the program in the future.
Right now, if you have a text file with the name BEANS.LAB in the
current directory when you start the program, BEANS will read the file,
expecting 10 lines of ASCII text with the labels for the timers.  If it
gets less than 10 lines it will just stop labeling the timers and use
the default labels.  I hope to make this a little smoother in another
release.

At the end of the day, you press the "save" button and the values of all
the timers are written to a text file called BEANS.SAV.  I hope to make
this a little fancier in a future version as well, but at the moment,
this suits my needs just fine.

If you find the program useful, please consider a shareware registration
fee in the range of $5 to spur be on to future enhancements.
