   If you're like me and lose all track of time when you're using your computer,
this little program may help you get to those important appointments on time.
It's an alarm clock that loads into memory and remains there while you go on
with your business.  It checks the system time every 30 seconds and when that
time is equal to the time you set the alarm for, the alarm goes off reminding
you to do something.  The syntax is:

                        ALARM hh[:mm] [PM]

   The time can be entered in 24 hour format (0 <= hh <= 23) or you can use
the regular 12 hour format and include the PM parameter when appropriate.  If
PM is not specified and the hour is less than 12, AM is assumed.  If minutes
are omitted it defaults to 0.

   Only one alarm can be set with each invocation of the program but it can be
run more than once to set multiple alarms.  It only eats up about 640 bytes of
RAM for each alarm.

   So if that important meeting is at 2:30 pm and you need 15 minutes to wrap
up your work and get to the board room just enter  ALARM 2:15 PM
then go about your business.  Then as you're single stepping through your
program trying to find that last little bug, your computer will make some funny
beeps and you'll think "What the heck was that?  Oh yea, I have a meeting to
get to!"

   I hope you find this useful.  Any comments, suggestions, improvements, etc.
are welcome.
