What is EClock?
***************

EClock is a Clock-prog (what else :-)) which can be started from the
CLI as well as from the Workbench. It's not extraordinary but it
includes some usefull features:  EClock is able to pop up on the
momentary screen automatically, you can choose as many alert times as
you like ...

Why have I renamed Clock v2.2 into EClock?

Clock started as a little assembler program with a source code length of
about 4KB. Because many improvements were sent to me I included most of
them in this source to please your needs :-). But then suddenly I
reached a point from that on I was searching longer for where to insert
the improvement than coding that feature.  (1) That's why I decided to
completely recode Clock, and change the name.

Because I had to learn Modula II at my university I bought a compiler
for my Amiga. I liked it so much that I decided to write the new EClock
in Modula II, to make it easier to include new features and remove bugs
...

The key-file for registered Clock users is of course the same one as
the one for registered EClock users. That means all registered (*Note
Registration: Registration) Clock Users can use EClock without that
requester going on your nerves, when you start EClock.


Differences Clock/EClock
************************

   *     There are two modi of EClock:

        -      UsePublicScreens only (*Note EClockPrefs: Main window
          gadgets)      (use only PublicScreens to appear on) and
          therefore is mostly system conform.

        -      UseEveryScreen (uses every screen to appear on) is not
          as system conform,      but perhaps you want to have a clock
          that appears also on screens like      DPaint, PPaint ...

   *     EClock now consists of three parts.

        -      EClock, the main program (*Note EClock: EClock), that is
          active the hole time.

        -      EClockPrefs, the configuration program (*Note
          EClockPrefs: EClockPrefs).

        -      And ERequester (*Note ERequester: ERequester), that is
          started, whenever      you wish an alert requester to appear.

     This division was made, because you don't often have to use the
     configuration program     and therefore don't have to waste the
     memory for this part of EClock.

   *     EClock has no limitation of the number of alert times.
     (*Note timer-prefs: EClockPrefs timer window).      They are
     depending only of the amount of memory you have and from the amount
        of processor time you want EClock to give for handling the
     alert times.

   *     EClock supports wildcards. That means you can use e.g.
     "??:00:00#?"  for     an hourly alert or "(??:00:00#?|??:30:00#?)"
     for an half hourly alert.

   *     EClock is now also able to start an alert at a special date or
     day.      Wirldcards are of course supported so that you can e.g.
     enter     "(Thu#?|Fr#?)" for Thursday and Friday. (Be carefull
     this is localized)

   *     EClock will replace the following 3 characters in the
     requester text:

    `\'
          This character will be changed to a return, so that a new
          line is     started in the requester window. Now you are able
          to create nicer     looking requesters with as many lines as
          you like :-).

    `%t'
          This character will be replaced by the time the requester is
          started.

    `%d'
          This character will be replaced by the date the requester is
          started.

   *     Now, you can define as many screens, as you like to open
     EClock on.      (*Note screen-prefs: EClockPrefs screen window).
       You can select the x- and y-position ... where EClock should
     open its     window on that screen. EClock will always prefer
     screens, that are placed above     other ones in the listview
     gadget.
