This is a another clock and calendar program.  Its main
claim to fame is that it uses 'fuzzy logic' to place the
approximate, or 'about' time right on the title bar
(caption) of your currently active application,as long 
as that application is not iconized, and as long as the
Window is a parent window.

You do not HAVE to view the time in clinical hh:mm:ss
fashion, you can have it display "Its about five after
nine" or a similarly less precise format.

Unfortunately, the un-registered version of ABOUT TIME! has 
a nag screen that frustrates automatic loading of ABOUT 
TIME!. You need to respond to the Nag screen before ABOUT 
TIME! will function at all, however this is the only 
'crippling' that the un-registered version has endured.

Ideally, you will load ABOUT TIME! from the "Load=" line of 
WIN.INI, that way it's use is entirely automatic, and not 
even slightly difficult to operate.  It will then be 
iconized, and well out of the way.

Double click on the date to obtain info about that date, 
and double click on the year to check for Leap Years, and 
others.  The little button to the right of the Calendar 
takes you back to the current month.

ABOUTIME.LZH (or .ZIP) contains six files:-
	
	ABOUTIME.EXE	- Executable
	ABOUTIME.INI	- Initialisation file
	GRID.VBX	- Custom control
	THREED.VBX	- Custom control
	_READ_ME.TXT	- This text file
	_SYS_OP1.TXT	- Note for the BBS SysOp

ABOUT TIME! *WILL* *NOT* *RUN* without VBRUN300.DLL. This 
is the runtime file for Visual Basic 3.00, and is 
available separately from the bulletin board from which 
you obtained this copy.  If you have a copy for another
program, you don't need to download another. It is not
included here in an effort to save your down-load time.

The registered version of ABOUT TIME! will include
VBRUN300.DLL, plus an installation programme which
will make most of the following redundant.

Files:

1.  You can put the ABOUTIME.EXE file anywhere, but the  
best place is in your Windows directory. Even if you 
rename ABOUT TIME! and put that name in the Load= line 
of your WIN.INI file, ABOUT TIME! will 'find itself'.   

If you elect to run ABOUTIME.EXE every time that Windows 
is run, you need only enter "Load=ABOUTIME.EXE" in the 
existing WIN.INI file, assuming you are not loading any 
other programs. 
 
In the example above, the full path (ie. 
"C:\WIN\ABOUTIME.EXE") is not necessary, as your Windows 
directory *SHOULD* be in your PATH statement.  
Alternatively, if you put ABOUTIME.EXE in a directory that 
is not in your PATH statement, your "Load=" line should 
include the full path name ie. 
"Load=C:\ABOUTIME\ABOUTIME.EXE" or 
"Load=calc.exe C:\ABOUTIME\ABOUTIME.EXE" or
"Load=C:\ABOUTIME\ABOUTIME.EXE winword.exe"

    NOTE: The quotation marks should not be in your 
    INI file, and only serve to illustrate the point.

2.  The ABOUTIME.INI file can *ONLY* be in your Windows 
directory.  It doesn't matter if your Windows directory is
"C:\WINDOWS" or "C:\WIN" or "D:\WIN31" or "J:\DOGSBODY", 
ABOUT TIME! will find it via the Windows API.  Do not 
unnecessarily alter the INI file, as ABOUT TIME! may not 
work.

3. GRID.VBX and THREED.VBX *MUST* go in your Windows\SYSTEM
directory.  See above re Windows directory. If you have older
versions (check the date in File Manager) of these files on
your hard disk and do not overwrite them with the files
supplied in ABOUTIME.LZH, then ABOUT TIME! will not run. 
This point should be remembered if you have other Visual  
Basic programmes that worked before you installed ABOUT TIME! 
and they have since adopted a negative attitude.

4. The other files are text files that you can read from 
Notepad, which is probably what you are doing right now.

Version Notes:

This is version 1.1, which corrects a few minor oversights 
in Ver 1.0. There is nothing dramatically different 
between the versions, but a lot of code has been 'tidied 
up'; the Stay On Top feature fine tuned (it now works ALL 
the time) and a we now use a different method of finding
other copies of the About Time! running on your desktop.

End of file.
