Introduction When I first began running my BBs with DESQview, I noticed that my system clock was losing about an hour a day, and on somedays even more! I've made a few other attempts to correct this problem but none worked as well as Clock-Watch.

Clock-Watch is "DESQview AWARE" , and will spend most of its CPU time trying to give away its CPU time. Operation In order to run Clock-Watch efficently under DESQview you must select DV's Open Window option and select "AP" Add a Program. Then select "O" for Add Other Program, Then type in the name of the Directory where you placed Clock-Watch. Now set up Program and Advanced Program Options as follows: ÉAddÍaÍProgramÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» º Specify Program Information º º º º Program Name ...........: Clock-Watch º º º º Keys to Use on Open Menu: C1 Memory Size (in K) 50 º ÇÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄĶ º Program...: CLKWATCH º º º º Parameters: º º º º Directory.: \UTILITY {put in your dir name} º ÇÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄĶ º Options: º º Writes text directly to screen.........: N º º Displays graphics information..........: N º º Virtualize text/graphics (Y,N,T).......: Y º º Uses serial ports (Y,N,1,2)............: N º º Requires floppy diskette...............: N º º º º Press F1 for advanced options Press Ù when you are DONE º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ ÉAddÍaÍProgramÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» º Specify Program Information Advanced Options º º System Memory (in K).......: 0 Maximum Program Memory Size (in K)..: º º Script Buffer Size.........:1000 Maximum Expanded Memory Size (in K): º º Text Pages : 1 Graphics Pages: 0 Initial Mode: Interrupts: 00 to FFº ÇÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄĶ º Window Position: º º Maximum Height: 25 Starting Height: 7 Starting Row....: 1 º º Maximum Width.: 80 Starting Width.: 24 Starting Coloumn: 25 º ÇÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄĶ º Shared Program º º Pathname...: º º Data.......: º ÇÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄĶ º Close on exit (Y,N,blank)......: Y Uses its own colors.............: Yº º Allow Close Window command.....: N Runs in background (Y,N,blank)..: Yº º Uses Math coprocessor..........: N Keyboard conflict (0-4).........: 0º º Share CPU when foreground......: Y Share EGA when foreground/zoomed: Yº º Can be swapped out (Y,N,blank).: N Protection level (0-3)..........: 0º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ Any fields that are blank must be left blank.
