Important Notice:

Because of the file structure of World Flag Clock, users should take caution when changing
and copying the files to a new directory from the original installation directory. Some 
files are created using the original directory. Validated users may lose their validation 
information. Also, Auto execution of preferred teams may be lost. Neither is a major
catastrophy. Validation and Auto-execution can easily be re-established in the new directory.
Validated users should write down their validation number in case they change directories.



Disclaimer:

World Flag Clock has no expressed or implied warranty. The user accepts full responsibility
for this program by loading it on their computer. At no time is the author responsible for
any hardware or software malfunctions caused by Football Clock. Though the author knows of
no such problems from this software, he is not liable if any should occur.


NOTE:
Currently there are hundreds of national flags that are represented in the world. This
program could not possibly include each and every flag. The program currently holds
32 flags. The author considered the 32 flags which he viewed as being the most
popular by individuals who would have access to this program. The author did not
intend to 'slight' any nation. However, he could only choose a maximum of 32 flags.
Please do not take offense if a particular national flag is excluded from this
program. If you feel that a national flag that is not included in this program which
would be very popular (by the amount of computer users of that nationality) then
let the author know. If the author agrees, then in a future release that national
flag shall be added to the list.
