WARNING

  Although  this  program  is freely distributable (see COPYRIGHT below), I
would  appreciate  if  you  take the time to write me a line or two (E-Mail
please)  if  you  are  using  any of my programs or if you have any kind of
ideas  or  suggestions  (This is not too much to ask, is it?).  If you feel
particularly  generous,  I  would  like  to  receive a disk with any useful
programs you have written, preferrably with source.  Thanks!


DESCRIPTION

  QTime is a simple program to display the current time in an informal way.
Instead of saying 11:44pm it says "It is almost a quarter to midnight".  It
is specially useful when used in conjunction with the SPEAK:  device, since
it  allows  the  time  to  be spoken in a more natural form.  It works both
under WB1.3 and WB2.0.


OPTIONS

  No options.


EXAMPLES

  to see the current time:
    qtime

  to hear the current time:
    qtime >SPEAK:


BUGS

  There should be a better name for this program.
