To use the eggtimer or the stpwatch programs, simply type the name of the program at the dos prompt and press enter. If you start the stop watch program with a /d switch, you will get a time with the fractions of seconds displayed, otherwise the time will be rounded off to the nearest second. If you start the egg timer program with a /s switch, you will not get a sound alarm when the time is up. If you have any trouble, a comment or a question about the programs, my internet address is jim.kitchen@pcohio.com and I also regularly monitor Blind Talk and Blink Talk in the Fidonet conference. Or you may write or call. Jim Kitchen 385 Center Street Apt. 13 Chardon, Ohio 44024 (216) 286-6920
