To run the alarm clock program, simply type alarmclo at the dos prompt and press enter. Hopefully the instructions for setting the time are pretty self explanatory. After the time is set there will be a fifteen second delay and then a screen saver will be activated. The default screen saver fills and erases randomly picked colorful lines in a graphical mode. If you want to or if your computer has a problem with this, you can start the program with a /n switch. Now the screen saver will run in a text mode. It will randomly place and erase colorful ascii characters ( 1 through 6 ) on the screen 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.
