Clock 1.0 - A 32-bit digital clock program written for the OS/2 2.1 PM 
environment 
        
Features of Clock:  

        Highly configurable digital display 
        Can be set to stay on top of all other windows 
        User can adjust various performance parameters to minimize Clock's
                impact on resources
        Easy-to-use pop-up menu interface

How to use Clock:  

1.      Unzip the CLOCK.ZIP archive in a directory of your choice.  If you are 
        reading this, then you have already done so, or it has been done for 
        you.

2.      Run the executable CLOCK.EXE, or equivalently, create a program
        object which refers to the executable wherever you would like it, and 
        run that.

3.      The first time you run clock, it will start with a set of default
        display parameters.  To change the display, call up the pop-up menu by 
        clicking the right mouse button anywhere on the clock face.  From here 
        you can call several dialogs that allow you set the way the time is 
        displayed, as well as Clock's performance options.  These dialogs are as
        follows:

        Options...  Contains the Display Format and Stay On Top controls. 
        Display Format allows you to choose whether seconds are displayed, 
        whether the am/pm indicator is displayed, or to display the time in 
        24-hr format.  The am/pm indicator option is not available if 24-hr time
        is on.  The display sleep time is the time in milliseconds that the time
        display update thread waits before checking to see if the display needs
        to be updated.  Smaller values eat up more processor time.  
        Stay On Top allows you to enable/disable the stay on top option, and set
        the time in milliseconds that the Stay On Top thread waits before 
        asserting Clock's window to the top.

        Choose Font...  Allows you to chose the display font from fonts 
        installed on your system.

        Set System Time...  Allows you to set your computer's system time and 
        date.

        In addition, Clock's display colors can be set from the pop-up menu.
        Currently the window is not automatically sized for the chosen font.  If
        you choose a point size that is too big, the time may not display.  You 
        will need to resize the window manually to make the display come back. 
        You can move Clock by clicking the left mouse button anywhere on the 
        clock face and dragging the frame.

4.      When Clock terminates, either by you choosing Exit from the pop-up menu
        or when the system is shut down, all display parameters are saved in the
        file CLOCK.INI, and are loaded the next time Clock is run.

Clock 1.0 is freeware.  You are free to distribute this program provided this 
documentation accompanies the executable, and that neither file is modified in
any way.
