CLK

These are the files you need. You can send them from the package contents below.

• CLKB.COM → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 810 B
• CLKLX.COM → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 873 B
• CLKAPM.COM → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 882 B
• CLKMAX.COM → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 217 B

No need to put CLKB.TXT: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 5.5 KB on a 1 MB disk.

1. Copy CLKB.COM, CLKLX.COM, CLKAPM.COM, CLKMAX.COM to A:\SOFT. They are DOS programs: run them from the DOS icon, or add A:\SOFT to the PATH in C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT to call them by name.

Derived from the package contents and the 200LX conventions. It installs to A: on purpose: C: is a RAM disk and every byte there is memory taken from the system.

INSTALLATION.

To install it, just type
  clk
and press the RETURN key.


USAGE.

The ScrollLock is on the Toshiba Libretto 50 the same as Fn-F12.

If you use MODE.COM:
The "MODE CON ..." commands in autoexec.bat must be executed before CLK
as these change the keyboard interrupt vector address.

The update of the clock can be stopped by pressing Right-Shift and one
of the Ctrl keys simultaneously. The clock is restarted the same way.

To see the date, press the ALT key; the date will be displayed for two
seconds. This does not work when displaying the timer.

To start and stop the timer, press the ScrollLock key.
You can stop the timer temporarily by pressing both Right Shift + Ctrl
keys simultaneously.

You cannot uninstall the TSR (I have the code but don't really see the
need).


ALARM.

You can set an alarm after installation with for example

  clk 09:00

(it does not matter which character you type between the hours and
minutes). The time must be entered in 24 hour format and with two digits
for both hours and minutes. The colour of the clock changes to yellow
digits on a red background until the alarm goes off. The alarm will
sound for a couple of seconds and then stop automatically. You cannot
stop it yourself.

You can anytime change the alarm time by entering a new.
You can cancel the alarm by entering an hour that is larger than 24; the
colour will then change back to normal.

The clock will lose a couple a seconds every time you use the alarm.

The alarm will go off even if the clock is hidden or the timer running.


BATTERY LEVEL.

There are two versions that show the battery level: one for computers
using Advanced Power Management v1.0+ (CLKAPM.COM) and one for HP-100LX
/ HP-200LX (CLKLX.COM).
