ONLY.  It is a SHAREWARE program which houses many useful
functions and utilities under one easy to use shell. THE

INSIDE THE ZIP
***************
Timeman.opa (Program file)	  - ESSENTIAL
Timeman.hlp (Help file)		  - Very useful
Tmfiles.ovl (File Manager module) - Very useful
Tmconv.ovl  (Conversions module)  - Very useful (needs Timeman.cnv)
Timeman.cnv (Conversions Data)	  - Very useful (needs Tmconv.ovl)

Timeman.txt (this file)		  - Delete after reading it

*                 VERY IMPORTANT NOTE!!                  *
**********************************************************

Please install the on-line help as this is a very in-depth
guide to all of the programs features.  I don't like long
read me files because people tend to just skip them and end
up not knowing how to use the program.   To this end I've
tried to keep this file as short and as small as possible.
This means that none of the features are explained and that
there is no in-depth  "how to use me" guide.  However, all
of this is in the file "Timeman.hlp" and if you want to know
how to use TimeMan then you NEED to install the help, after
all, once you get the hang of it the help can be deleted later!

NEW USER INSTALLATION
*********************
Put TimeMan.opa in the \APP directory on any drive.  Then create
a directory of \TIMEMAN\ in the root of *any* drive (eg A:\TIMEMAN).
Into this, put any of the optional files from:	Timeman.hlp
						Tmfiles.ovl
						Tmconv.ovl
						Timeman.cnv

Although it's easier to keep track of files if all of the above
are in the same \TIMEMAN directory, you *can* have them in different
places.  For instance, you may only just have enough room on an SSD
for Timeman.opa and Timeman.hlp, but you want to use the optional
modules too.  In this case, the .opa file goes in the \APP directory
on the SSD, the .hlp file goes in the \TIMEAN directory on the SSD,
but you *could* put the 3 remaining files in \TIMEMAN on either a
new SSD or the Internal drive!!!!

All this sounds complicated, but it does allow TimeMan to be even
more flexible!

Once the files are in place, install Timeman using Psion+I from the
System Screen.
	Files called "Timeman.ini" and "Reminder.ini" will be created
in a \TIMEMAN directory of the Internal drive WHETHER YOU INSTALL
THE OPTIONAL FILES THERE OR NOT.  Although this sounds odd, it makes
sense since these .ini files change quite often.  If they were placed
onto an SSD whcih happened to be FLASH, there would be a lot of wasted
space!


UPGRADING FORM EARLIER VERSIONS
*******************************
To do this, you must very simply do the following.  Overwrite the
old TimeMan.opa file!

Then, install the optional modules as if you were a new user (see
above).  Remember, your old help file can now go on any drive's
\TIMEMAN directory.

When you first run TimeMan, the Upgrade Tracker (v3.05F) will take
care of all your settings.  If you're upgrading from v3.6F, all of
your old settings can be kept.  If you're upgrading from an earlier
version, then sorry, but all settings in Timeman.ini will be lost.

THE LAW!

About the Prog
**************
I wrote this prog because I wanted to have a collection of generally
useful utilities all under one easy to use shell where I could get
access to them at any time.  This also brought with it the added
plus of only having one application for all these "small" things
instead of 10 or 20!

After much development (spending far much more time than I should
have done on the code), I thought that the program was in a good enough
state to be publically released, and more importantly, to be of use to
other 3a/3c users.   

Now, TimeMan has become a sort of "Swiss Army Knife" of applications,
with many, many very useful features all grouped under 1 shell.

About the Author
****************
I'm called Phil Spencer and I'm 16 years old from Aylesbury, England.
I have limited OPL experience (started about a year and a half ago) but
am learning new things each day.  I'm *very* pleased with this version
of TimeMan, and I'm sure you will be too.   That's all you need to know
really!

This version appears to have no bugs but if you find any or have any
comments/suggestions for future versions then I welcome your input
either by:

E-Mail on nicko@nildram.co.uk or 106023,676 on CIS

OR by Snail-Mail at :

Disabled Features
******************
In the unregistered version I have kept back a few items  as an
incentive for you to register.  Firstly there are some nag screens
that appear on start/exit, next you can only have analog clocks
and not digital, so this also means that the new "Large digital
clock" feature is disabled!

Apart from this, the rest of the program is fully working so
use, enjoy, REGISTER :-)

Registering
***********
TimeMan v4.00F is distributed as Shareware.  To register the program
on Compuserve, GO SWREG 11633, otherwise you must:

Send 10 UK Pounds/18 US Dollars OR a foreign currency equivalent PLUS
10% to my Snail-Mail address with either your E-Mail address or
with a an SAE.  This will enable me to send you your personalised
Key-Code to unlock the program's features and banish the nags forever. 

When registered you will be entitled to any future upgrades FREE, if
you have web access then you'll be able to get new releases off my
web site *before* they're released to anywhere else!  You also get
a direct say in future developments and more importantly
a clear conscience!

10 UKP isn't a lot to register and it'll help me develop future
versions (and other programs). I don't have much time free as I'm
doing my GCSE's so I need an incentive :-)

Thanks to...(in no real order)
******************************
My whole-hearted thanks goto FRANCIS CREESE (Datalink BBS) for his
excellent support and for testing some of my earlier copies and
making suggestions, also for his memory checker code.  Without all
of his help I could never have got the program into such an acceptable
state.  I would also like to thank STEVE LITCHFIELD for his help and
suggestions.  ALEX WILBUR and JOHN BOYCE were both also a great help
in providing me with bits of code for a)Quick Calc and b)Launching
Draw, repectively.  TOM DOLBILIN was extremely helpful and really great
in letting me have some of his advanced code to launch applications.
And ALAN CLIFFORD helped me out of some very ticky situations - getting
me a working, efficient access system to the World data and also with
some date/time functions.  STEVE GODFREY provided the brilliant new way
to draw clocks in OPL (not with gCLOCK).  And last (but by no means
least!), I am also deeply indebted to BRENDAN BREEDE for the code to
save/restore System settings (from his SARCon program) which he let
me use and also for showing me how to do the new settings file format.
Thanks!

These other kind souls also deserve a mention:

* Bill Belfield - For the numerical bases convertor
* Roger Muggleton - For the code to "Touch" the time/date for a file
		    (in File Manager)
* My Beta Testers - Thanks Work Guys (and Gal)!

TimeMan's History
*****************
Since TimeMan has now gone through many releases and revisions, it's
history list is very long!  So, to keep this readme file's size down
as well as the size of the distribution .zip file, I've left the
history out.  If you're really that bothered, or even just mildly
interested ;-) then I've put it "on-line" as a special page from
my web site.  Please pay it a visit if you can!
