Time Trakker v1.3 (7/16/95) ================= Time Trakker is a Windows program to keep track the number of minutes that you are inside an application. This program was written in Visual Basic 3.0, so you need to have the file VBRUN300.DLL in your \windows\system directory. There are 3 files included in this ZIP file. - ttrakker.exe: This is the Windows executable that can be run from anywhere. - ttrakker.txt: The file you are reading now. - file_id.diz : A description of the ZIP file. Once executed in Windows, ttrakker.exe will create 2 files. Both files will be created in the same directory "ttrakker.exe" is executed from. - ttrakker.cfg: This is also called your "config file", which keeps track of the program you are running, and the amount of time so far. - trak-XXX.log: This is a file that shows the date and time when entering and exiting the program you are running. The "XXX" will be the number. For example, say you run the "ttrakker.exe" on 6/22 (June 22nd) the log file name will be "trak-jun.log". When you enter an executable file to run, it is saved off in the "ttrakker.cfg" file. When you run "ttrakker.exe" again, and select a different file to run, the program will ask you if you want to overwrite the config file (ttrakker.cfg) or not. If you choose "yes" your old data will be lost. The 1st time you run it, it will ask you for the day number of your billing cycle. If you do not know it, just put "1". For example, on AOL my day number is the 17th. So the 1st time I run it after the 17th, it will ask me if I want to reset the minutes value in the "ttakker.cfg" file. Here is the file format of "ttrakker.cfg". It is a flat ASCII file, and can be edited. (for example: "7 17 44 c:\windows\aol25\waol.exe") In this example: 7 is the next month value 17 is the day number 44 is the Minute counter c:\windows\aol25\waol.exe is the program "ttrakker" will run. Buttons on the Form =================== Go! - Hit this when you have selected a file to execute. Exit - To exit program. Clear - Reset configuration file. (ttrakker.cfg) Be carefull, all data will be lost. Legal Stuff =========== The programmer cannot accept responsibility for any damages that may be incurred by the use of Time Trakker. Release Notes ============= version 1.0 - Program was called "stopwatch", 1st release. version 1.2 - Changed name to "Time Trakker", added logic for billing cycle. version 1.3 - Several bug fixes. Config file format is the same. Other Info ========== There are no NAG screens of any type. If you would like to register, I am only asking for $5.00 US dollars. This program was called "stopwatch" but I renamed it because of all the other utilities with the same name.
