FrontClock V4.01                                            FrontClock V4.01
                  Copyrighted Creative Software 1993-1995


Firstly let me say that this is an update from V3.2. If you've used
FrontClock before then this won't really affect you, except for the 
following:-

	FrontClock V4.01 has been totally rewritten in E, and the 
	disable/enable menu has been taken out.
	Lastly that the multi-tasking has been considerably tidied up
	and is now extreemly O/S friendly. This has been achieved mainly
	by the change of language (you may notice the considerable size
	difference in the executable) and the use of Delay(). This accounts
	for the slight delay in the requesters appearing.
	FrontClock now utilises calls in the Gadtools .library so now 
	requires OS 2.04+.

What is FrontClock?. I wonder if it's a clock?. 

Yes its a clock, but not just any clock. Its called FrontClock because its 
main role in life is to come to the front of any windows that you may have 
open on the Workbench screen at the run time. The clock is draggable, so 
you can position it where you like. You can also opt to save these settings 
with the 'Snapshot' menu item, which will save the position to a file in 
the Env-Archive drawer.

	Running FrontClock couldn't be simpler either, just stick it in your
WBStartup drawer and leave it. That way everything will be automatic and
run every time you boot up. One note, make sure that the 'DO NOT WAIT'
tooltype is in the icons information window, otherwise Workbench will keep
waiting for FrontClock to signal.

	Thats about it really, there's not much else to tell, except that,
I cant see any reason why FrontClock won't run under 3.0+, but it 
hasn't been tried. If it doesn't work on your 3.x machine then drop 
me a note to the address below, or if you should (god forbid) find any bugs.

	There are a few improvements I'd like to make as well. I would like 
FrontClock to be able to switch to other public screens as they come to the
front. Also the multi-tasking could be sped up somewhat, and these are 
things I will be into in the future. If anybody does register with me, then I
will send them the updated copies as and when they appear. FrontClock is PD,
purely for the reason of distribution, this doesn't mean you can fiddle,
disassemble or reverse engineer it in any way. The archive should remain
intact as well. The included files are:-

	FrontClockV4.01            The executable
	FrontClockV4.01.info       The executables icon
	FrontClockV4.01.doc        This document
	FrontClockV4.01.doc.info   This documents icon

Also don't pay too much for it either. The fee for media and duplication 
are acceptable but extortion is not fair. I am making no profit from it and 
I don't see why anybody else should!.

	Lastly to say that FrontClock was written using the excellent
E language (by Wooter van Oortmerssen), on an ECS A2000, 1040mb hard disk, 
CD-Rom, 8mb, 68030 and loads of patience! ;).

	Yours till next time
