       This program was written in Borland's ObjectVision.

       Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 is required for installation of the
       "Global TimePiece" program.  Approximately 2MB on the Hard Drive
       are required, and at least 4MB RAM is desirable.  A mouse is
       required.
            
       WINDOWS 3.1:  
             
       Insert the Installation Disk in the floppy drive.  From the Program
       Manager, select File/Run.  At RUN, type the Drive letter, colon,
       backslash and then INSTALL.  For example:  A:\INSTALL.  Press ENTER,
       or click OK, to begin installation.  An OVGLOBAL directory will be
       formed and will contain the program files.
                      
       WINDOWS 95:

       Insert the Installation Disk in the floppy drive.  Select "Add
       Programs" from the Control Panel, select Install and utilize the
       install features according to Windows 95 instructions, and it will
       install to the Start Programs.  An OVGLOBAL folder will contain the
       program files.
        
       The CONFIG.SYS file must contain SHARE.EXE.  If the SHARE.EXE file
       is located in C:\DOS, type:
       INSTALL=C:\DOS\SHARE.EXE, and re-boot the system.

       Alternatively, type SHARE in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
       
       The Graphics were developed for 640 x 480 x 16 color video settings.
            
       Approximately 200 Countries and 800 Cities were included in the 
       Country and City databases, and approximately 1,250 Cities in the                        
       Location City database.  The Dates and Times of Cities within a
       selected Country will be displayed.  Cities have been included for
       every Time Zone.  Multiple Cities are displayed for Countries with
       more than one Time Zone.  Daylight Saving Times (Summer Times) 
       have been computed. 

       The Location City must be selected initially, to establish the
       Location of the Computer.  The selected City may be saved, and
       this procedure will not need to be performed again unless the
       Computer Location changes.

       The Location City is selected by :

          1. Enter the first few letters of the desired City in the 
             provided box and click OK.  (This is the quickest method.)

          2. Click the TOP, BOTTOM, PREVIOUS and NEXT buttons until the
             desired City is identified.

          3. Use the Scroll Bar to scroll the list to find the desired
             Location City.

          4. Click the desired City, which will be surrounded by a border,
             and then click DISPLAY. 
          
       The Country is selected by :
                 
          1. Click the Find Country button, enter the first few     
             letters of the desired Country in either upper or lower case,
             and click OK.  (This is the quickest method.)

          2. Click the TOP, BOTTOM, PREVIOUS and NEXT buttons until the
	     desired Country is identified.

          3. Click the List of Countries button, and scroll the list
             to find the desired Country.  Click the desired Country,
             which will then be surrounded by a border, and then click
             DISPLAY.
                  
       Units per Dollar :

          To determine the relationship between the US Dollar and Foreign
          Currency, enter the Units per Dollar in the Green Block and 
          then click SAVE.  The value will be retained until changed and
          saved again.  Since the Units per Dollar may change daily, values
          included in a database would not be accurate.
                    
       Cities, Dates and Times :

          When the desired Country is selected, click the Cities
          button for a screen that displays several Cities of the selected
          Country, Date, Standard and 24 hour Times.  The Local Time and
          Date are obtained from the computer Time and Date.  The Time will
          be updated each time the Cities screen is opened.

	  Daylight Saving Times for all Countries have been obtained from
          various sources.  There may be some errors in the starting and
	  stopping dates for some Countries.  If so, these will be corrected
	  as the data becomes available.  The computed dates should be
          correct through the year 2099.
