Wcron V2.1a
		      Periodical Task Scheduler


What is Wcron?
--------------
Wcron is a periodical task scheduler.

Wcron is inpired on Unix's cron utility. It is very commonly used on Unix
systems.  In fact most Unix systems depends a lot on cron.  Cron (and Wcron
for that matter) is most useful for machines that runs 24 hours a day but it
can be of a great help even for casual user.  Wcron let you specify the time
of execution of specific tasks.  It can be used for on-shot executions and
for periodical executions.  People use it to make regular backups, remind
them of something, start backgroud tasks like file transfer or automated BBS
systems and much, much more...


Testimonials from users
-----------------------
Other products like Central Point's scheduler included with PCTOOLS and
Norton's scheduler included with Norton Desktop for Windows don't even come
close to the flexibility of Wcron.

 - Jim Baker

I like what I see so far in Wcron. Norton's Desktop for windows and
PCTools 7.1 both have schedulers but they are limited in functionality.
Yours offers more.
