Hi and welcome to my little digital time and date display for OS/2.

I first wrote this type of clock in the corner back in 1992 and at that
time you had to control place and colour with command line arguments.

It have been ticking along as Ive uppgraded my OS/2, moved to new 
locations and so on. But when I gave it to a coworker at my new work he
found it rather difficult to use and boring.

So to stuff his critic down his throat I totaly redesigned it. The goal 
this time was ease of use and a human language neutral design <g>.

As there is no manual except this readme file I can only say this: 

    "Ladies and Gentlemen grab your mouses and click away..."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Okey, the big installation game:

Step 1  Put all the files together in a folder and run install.cmd

Step 2  There is none, your have lived thru it!

The install.cmd only creates a program object in the start folder, this 
way the clock starts automaticly after a reboot.

If for some reason you want to uninstall, just shreed all the files!
The program does not tamper with any system files.

Youll find it in the Window List if you just want to close it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Now what are all those files?

PAULATIM.EXE   This is the distribution file
DTD.EXE        The program
INSTALL.CMD    Its the installer
README.TXT     Your reading it
SETTINGS.DTD   This file is created by the program.
               Shreed it and your back to the defaults.

The disclaimer:

LIKE ANYTHING ELSE THAT'S FREE, THIS PROGRAM IS PROVIDED AS IS AND COME

So if it makes your box go belly up then thats your problem. But as I 
know the source I dont understand why! Oh shit... now were did I put 
that old, old set of backup disks? ;-)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

How about money?

over e-mail ( christoffer.araskog@mailbox.swipnet.se ) but its free to 
use as it is. Comments are also welcome :-)

Your only DUTY is to give away copies of the distribution file, 
Paulatim.exe, to anybody you like (or dislike <g>).

problem I had. Thanks.
