CLOCK & CALENDAR
                           Version 1.0
          
                  A timepiece for DESQview (TM)

                       By Daniel J. Bodoh


     You're the new owner of a little clock for DESQview.  It's
easy to use, and doesn't take up much system time or memory.  And
best of all, IT'S FREE!

     The clock displays the date and time in the following
format:
          Saturday, November 30, 1991   6:10 AM

The time is displayed in a 1-row high window which is "orphaned",
which means that it is removed from the "Switch Windows" menu and
cannot be moved, etc.  That way, it doesn't get in your way, and
just minds its own business in the background.

     The best place to start Clock & Calendar is from your
DESQview startup script.  If you don't know about scripts, take a
look at the DESQview manual.

     To install Clock & Calendar, make a directory such as
C:\CLOCKCAL.  Then copy CLOCKCAL.ZIP into that directory and
unzip the file (which, by now, I assume you have done).  The
distribution archive comes with three files:

CLOCKCAL.COM - the actual program
CLOCKCAL.DOC - the file that lists itself as part of the package
CC-PIF.DVP   - the DVP file for CLOCKCAL.COM

Now, in DESQview, choose
     Open Window
     Add a Program
     Other (add program not in list)
     and type C:\CLOCKCAL or the appropriate directory
     type the space bar when Clock & Calendar is highlighted
     and select Done

The directory name you used will be automatically added to the
DVP file.  However, you may want to change the position of the
window.  It defaults to Column 0 of Row 25, but I prefer Column 0
of Row 60 with my 60-line VGA screen.  To change this, choose
     Open Window
     Change Program
     CC
     f1
     cursor to the Starting Row and Starting Column fields and
     them to your desired position

If you have another program on the Open Window menu that uses the
keys CC, you will have to change Clock & Calendar's keys.  You
will be warned about this when installing the new .DVP.

     Clock & Calendar takes up almost no system time.  After
initialization, it wakes up once a minute to update the time, so
it doesn't affect other processing at all.
     It does take up 12K, a little larger than I would like. 
Maybe I'll do some assembly for the next version to cut down the
size.

     This program is copyright by Daniel J. Bodoh, 1991. 
However, it is released into the public domain.  The distribution
files must not be modified, and may be redistributed.  All 3
files must be included unmodifed in any redistribution.

     Many thanks to Ralf Brown for his DV GLUE library of
DESQview functions, as well as his interrupt list.
