QuickAlarm Version 1.21F D
_______________________________________________________________________________

NOTE: Although the program user interface is held in german, this text will
      stay in english.

QuickAlarm is for you, if you
  - wanted to make a 5-minute-tea and it became a ten minute brew,
  - left your car at the parking meter and had to get it back from
    the police,
  - took a short nap and got waken up by your boss,
  - boiled a 3-minute-egg which became like concrete,
  - ...
and all that, because you just did not set an alarm, 'cause for that
you would have had to press (at least) one key too much (you lazy one)!
(For me it was the tea which made me write this program...)

With QuickAlarm you specify in advance the time left until an alarm
will ring, the sound which will be played and a message up to 64
characters. Each alarm specified will show up underneath the QuickAlarm
icon. All you have to do to set the alarm is place the cursor on the
desired item and press enter. A small beep sequence will tell you that
the alarm has been set (you may check it in TIME). To cancel an alarm
use TIME. Specify a new one pressing Psion-N on the file list. Delete
an alarm specification using the system screen (delete file).
If you specify "00:00:00" as time interval you will be asked to enter a
time when setting the alarm. You then even may chose between absolute time
(e. g. quarter past three) or relative time (e. g. 16 minutes from now)
and may change the default message text.

This is the german version of QuickAlarm, but an english one can be found on
my web page. If you like to do the translation work, I will offer french,
italian, spanish or other languages! In this case drop me a note. It's just
that I am not so familiar with all these other languages...

To install QuickAlarm copy the files to your Psion as follows:
 \APP\QUICKALM.OPA
 \ALM\*.QAL            (optional, the supplied files are examples)

I recommend to install QuickAlarm so that it can be easily accessed:
either set Ctrl-Time to point to QuickAlarm or install it as the first
or last item in system screen (what I did).

--- LEGAL STUFF ---------------------------------------------------------------
QuickAlarm is released as FreeWare, you have the one and only right to use this
program for the intended purpose. You may not in any way reverse translate the
program. You may distribute the program provided that you keep all supplied
files together and do not charge anything for it.
Although this program has been carefully tested I can not guarantee that it
works as desired.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please send me an eMail, fax or postcard and tell me whether you use (or don't
use) this program and how you like (or dislike) QuickAlarm and what you wish to
be done in future versions (if any).

Please report all bugs you find.

Have fun!
