* * * My Timer * * * By Luc Perrin Version : 1.1 Date : 98/02/29 ------------- Introduction: MyTimer is small program to count time spent on the internet. I wrote MyTimer because there was no other program that did it properly for AmiTCP. None of them could properly detect if it was online. MyTimer is EmailWare. Send me an email whether you like it or not, or else ;-) --------- Features: - Uses very little memory - Uses MUI - Uses PPPinfo to detect if you are online - Logging option - Arexx port --------------------- Command Line Options: MyTimer if you put offline, mytimer will not attempt to detect if you are online or not and will not start active. ------ Arexx: Port name 'MYTIMER' logon - Activates the timer, starts a new log entry logoff - Stops the timer, saves the log entry openprefs - Open the prefs window, never tested, just there for fun openlog - Guess ;-)) ------------------------- PPPinfo online detection: What it does is look for the text 'INACTIVE' or 'OFFLINE' in the 1st 10 line of the pppinfo return text. Simple heh? ----- Bugs: None known. If you find some, email me at chysle96@cyberbeach.net ------- Future: AmigaGuide documentation. ------- Author: Contact me at Luc Perrin 56 Dow Dr. Box 566 Copper Cliff, On Canada POM-1N0 I prefer email : chysle96@cyberbeach.net -------- History: Changes from 1.0 (97/12/19) ========================== - perfected the precision of the timer. I was negligent in reading the amiga docs and i found out that the amiga's builtin timers are not very accurate. I now use a different algorithm to calculate timer. Therefore, do not go flaming your isp on the account of my program. It *WAS* not perfect! - Changed the format of the log window a bit to match the format of the log from my isp. Hope you like it. - Made it possible to print the log window. - Added an option of setting the time instead of reseting the clock.
