Software Creations Internet Timer

Software Creations Internet Timer is a little utility created by Ben Zell with help from Josh Whiting to help you know how long you've been using Software Creations' SLIP account service and how much money you should be billed for at the end of each month.  At the time of production, Software Creations doesn't have any way of finding out how much time you've used, so we felt this utility was necessary.

To get help, click on the part of the window you need help with:

Ben Zell (bzell@unix.swcbbs.com)

Josh Whiting (jwhiting@unix.swcbbs.com)

Tip:  If you keep Internet Timer minimized, you will still be able to see how much time you have left!

Thank you for trying this program!  If you use this and like this, please send an e-mail to bzell@unix.swcbbs.com and tell me what you think.  This program is FREE.

It is recommended that you use this feature.  NOTE: You only need to click this button once and then it will be set up forever, therefore you won't need to click this button ever again.
