          LTClock - The Little Title Bar Clock that COULD

       Version 0.5 by Leo Comitale  (comital@ecf.utoronto.ca)

====================================================================

LTClock is a simple program to put the time and date in the active
window's title bar.

LTClock 0.5 features POSIX style localization, and now it looks
better too.

INSTALLATION:
====================================================================
Simple really,

1. Use Info-Zip's Unzip to extract this archive to any directory.
   (Pkzip will work, too, but you will lose the EA's)
2. Create a program object (or CNTRL-SHIFT-DRAG LTCLOCK.EXE, for a
   shadow of the executable) and place it in your startup folder.
3. You can then open the settings and optionally add the following
   switches to the PARAMETERS section:

   -L<XXXX> Override the LANG environment variable. (DEFAULT=CDEF)
            Options include: FRAN,GERM,ITAL,SPAI,UK, and USA.

   -W       Remove LTClock from the Window List (DEFAULT=appear in Window 
            List)

   -O       Specify an offset LTClock should move left in order to 
            make room for title-bar modifying programs like Xit and 
            NPSWPS, this value is specified as a multiple of the width 
            of a title-bar button like the min or max button.  For
            example if you use Xit, then you'd put -o1 in your
            parameters section.


LOCALE SUPPORT:
===================================================================
To enable locale support, unzip the file LOCALES.ZIP (*) to a 
directory located in your DPATH (or in the same directory as 
LTClock).

Next, edit your config.sys and add the following SET statements:
(These changes will not take effect until you reboot the system.)

SET LANG=<LOCALE>
    Where <LOCALE> is one of:   CDEF - Default
                                FRAN - France
                                GERM - Germany
                                ITAL - Italy
                                SPAI - Spain
                                UK   - United Kingdom
                                USA  - USA

    Eg) For Germany, put "SET LANG=GERM" in your CONFIG.SYS

    NOTE that you can discard any LOCALE binaries you do not need.
    These binaries may be used by other applications written using
    IBM VisualAge C++.  The default locale CDEF is bound to the
    executable so it is not really needed as a seperate binary if
    you use it exclusively.  Also these are NEW binaries, the CSET
    2.0 versions included with LTCLOCK 0.4 and below will not work
    with 0.5.


SET LTC_FORM=<STRING>
    Where <STRING> defines the POSIX style date/time format

    Eg) The default time format would be set by placing

        SET LTC_FORM=%a, %b %d  %I:%M

        in your CONFIG.SYS, resulting in this:

        Mon, Jan 17 8:12

    See the file POSIX.FRM for more information on setting up your
    own TIME/DATE format.

Change Log:
===========

0.1 - 01-22-95 	- Initial hack, called TCLOCK, never released.
0.2 - 01-29-95 	- First released version.
0.3 - 02-25-95 	- Overhauled update methods
		- added POSIX support for DATE/TIME format
		- added title bar position option
		- added option for appearance in the Window List
		- added update frequency option to alleviate "flickering"
		  title bars.
0.4 - ????????  - lost in the sands of time...
0.5 - 29-08-95  - LTCLOCK now paints the active titlebar instead of changing
		  the text, this solves the problem with "ghost" entries
		  in the Window list and even makes the program a
		  little more attractive (and as an EXTRA bonus, it
		  reduced the code complexity by a large factor!)
		- added check to ensure only ONE instance active
		- programs like PMView/WebEx do not resist the force...
		- titlebar is updated every second, this is not adjustable
		  by the user as it is necessary in case of redraws etc.

Known Problems (version 0.5):(there always is a catch isn't there?)
===================================================================
- Any program which adds buttons to the titlebar over and above the
  MIN/MAX buttons (such as Xit, NpsWps, OD etc) will have it's addition 
  overwritten by this clock. :( I have added the -O option to 
  smooth over this, but I'd like to hear anyone's ideas for 
  something a little more "clean".

Price Schedule & <stddisclaimer.h>:
===================================================================
This program is FREE, give it to anyone and everyone who may want it.
Please leave the archive unmodified when redistributing this program,
and please report any bugs to me so I can brood over them, thanks.

I do not guarantee this program in any way whatsoever, so use it at 
your own risk.  If you REALLY REALLY like it, email me and I'll give 
you an address where you can send money.  :)
