RTimer - A Windows 3.1 Task Scheduler ver. 1.3c ©1992-93 Robin Scher - RSoft ***UNREGISTERED VERSION*** OVERVIEW This program will execute tasks for you at specific times. The tasks can be - Executing a program in either the foreground or minimized - Opening a specific file in an application - Printing a specific file - Displaying a message For full instructions, see the help file that comes with the program. Please note that testing has been done, but there may still be a few bugs for you to find. If you have any comments, please send them to me at: rscher@reed.edu This unregistered version will stop functioning May 1, 1994. INSTALLATION To install RTimer, place the executable and help file in a directory together. Execute the RTIMER.EXE file. To make RTimer load with Windows, you can either put it in your Startup group, or use the RTimer options box to add it to your WIN.INI. RTimer will create a file called "RTIMER.INI" in your Windows directory. This file contains all of RTimer's settings and the list of tasks to be executed. Although you can modify this file yourself, it would probably not be a good idea. Use the task editor in RTimer to add, edit, or delete tasks. For further instructions and help, see the RTimer Help file. REGISTRATION RTimer is Shareware! Please register your copy. For registering, you will get a copy that wont die on May 1, 1994. You will also get upgrades and bug fixes. Registering Shareware allows the little guys, like myself, to keep writing cool programs than can be obtained for very little money. Besides, I've done it, so can you. For registration information, see Registration in the help file, or contact me by email. No guarantee is given with this program. If there are any problems, please contact me. KNOWN BUGS While a DOS session is active, RTimer will not catch-up. This means that if you have DOS full screen, and then make it into a window, you need to not use any DOS window or program until RTimer is caught up. As soon as I figure out where Windows keeps information on DOS windows, this will be fixed.
