General Help

     Time Card uses a time clock-and-card metaphor for keeping track of how long you spend on different projects or tasks.  It can maintain up to 100 timing periods for up to 10 projects.  You accomplish most actions by dragging a time card over something else, like the Start clock, Stop Clock, TrashCan, or Spreadsheet.  Before you can drag a card, though, you MUST have given that project a name, up to 15 characters.  If you exceed 15 characters, the surplus characters will be dropped.

Time Cards

     Most actions are accomplished by dragging a 'time card' to another spot on the form.  Each project has a maximum storage of 100 timing periods.  If you reach 70, the background of that project's time card will turn yellow; if you reach 90, it will turn red.  If you try to go past 100 events, the program will refuse (with a warning and reminder); you must then either 'trash' the project, or export it.


Start Clock

     Dropping a time card on the Start Time area will log the start time for that session for that project.  If there was another card already in use, it will automatically be stopped.
     You will see the start time and card number appear in their respective locations.
     To stop the timing on a project, you can either drop it's card on the Stop clock, or drop a different card on the Start clock.


Stop Clock

     To stop the timer, simply drop the time card for that project onto the Stop clock.  If you want to switch over to another project, you can also stop the current project timing by dropping the time card for the new project on the Start clock - the 'old' project timing will automatically stop.


Trashcan

     Dropping a time card on the trashcan will cause ALL DATA for that card to be DELETED after you confirm that's what you want to do.


Exporting

     Dropping the time card for a project on the 'spreadsheet' will export all the data, including the project name, to a TIMCRDxx.TXT file.  It will also clear any time/date data for the project, but leave the project name intact.  Note that if you try to use more than 100 timing periods for a project, you MUST clear the data before you can continue.


Registration

     Registration of this program is simple - just send your registration fee of $5, along with your name and the name and version of the program, to:
          David Merriman
          Organic Software
          3612 N. Country Club, Ste. 271
          Irving, TX     75062-3406

     In return, you will receive the latest version of the program.  If an upgrade to the program becomes available within 90 days of your registration, then you will receive the upgrade FREE.  Otherwise, you will simply receive notice of the upgrade, which you may receive for a nominal fee.  You may get the name and version of the program by a number of ways - reviewing the .WRI file, from the 'nag' screen, by clicking on the picture in the top left corner of any of the 3 'main' screens (bringing up the ABOUT form), or on the Index page of the help file.
     Please note that registrations for Organic Software programs are valid for minor step upgrades (x.XX), but NOT for major step upgrades (X.xx).  In other words, if you register v1.1, and later download v1.2, your registration is still good; if you later download v2.0, it isn't - unless you bought the program within 90 days of the release of v2.0.

Shareware

THIS PROGRAM IS NOT FREE - IT IS SHAREWARE

     Shareware is a distribution method that allows the user (you) to get software, try it out, and decide if it meets your needs BEFORE you pay for it.  By distributing the software via an informal "sneakernet" of BBS's, floppy-swaps, and so on, costs are kept to a minimum, making the software less expensive while maintaining functionality.
     If you find the software useful, and choose to continue using it beyond some period of time (typically 30 days, but may vary according to the author's wishes), you are expected to pay the registration fee.  If you didn't find the software useful, then you would of course remove it from your system.  If you fail to either register the program or remove it from your system by the end of the 'trial period', you are in violation of FEDERAL COPYRIGHT LAWS - and subject to proscution, resulting in time in jail, fines, or both.  Please see the LOTTOLUK.WRI file for a better explanation of the Shareware concept, and how it should work.
