Welcome to My Tiny Timer!

Fractured Femur Software Presents a Tiny Windows Alarm

My name is Ross Contino.  I wrote this software out of a need for a small alarm clock in Windows 95.  I found myself at the computer with other members of the family saying "wake me up when...," "remind me to put dinner in the oven when...," and "get me off to school before..."

I found Windows devoid of a simple way to set an alarm to startle me.  Sure it has a nice clock in the lower right hand corner, but it doesn't sit up and bite when it is time to get up.

My Tiny Timer is small, free standing 16 bit (Yes, it will work in Windows 3.11 and Windows 95) application.  You can put it in any directory, and it will work.  To install just expand the archive into whatever directory you wish and create a new short cut for the program.

I have only tested this software in Windows 95.  It runs very well in the background.  I am unsure if it will quite as efficient in the background of Windows 3.11.  It should work!

Setting an alarm

Or how does one make the machine beep at the right time?

Easy!  From the File Menu, select Set Alarms.

A dialog box will appear with five blanks.  You may enter five alarm times.  One into each box.  Times may be entered in standard format or military format, i.e.

                                     9:30 PM
                                         or
                                      21:00

Yield the same result.

Click on the OK button to save the times.

Once set, the program can be run in the windows background or foregound.  My Tiny Timer must stay active.  If you exit the program, your alarms will be forgotten!


Exiting the program

Or how do I get out of this dum program?

You may have to employ great adaptability!  Select Exit from the file menu and My Tiny Timer will stop running.

Doing so voids all of the alarms you have set.
