About

This was written because I never remember meetings or other 
important times (like when to go home.)  This program allows 
you to set several alarms (up to 1440 of them!) and use a 
separate WAV file for each.  

You can contact me at:

Installing

Simply copy the AlarmSimple.exe and AlarmSimple.hlp to the
directory of your choice.  Then create a shortcut to the
program and run.  The program will appear in the system tray.
To delete the program simply erase the AlarmSimple.exe, the
AlarmSimple.hlp and the AlarmSimple.als to remove all traces.


Using

When you first start Alarm Simple it will place an alarm clock 
shaped icon in the system tray.  By pressing the right mouse 
button on that clock you will see the settings window.

The first item is the alarm number.  This is the text box in 
the upper left.  You can use the up/down arrows next to that 
box to alter the number of the alarm.  There are 1440 alarms 
(one for every minute of the day) and each can have specific 
settings. 

The next item is the Hour field.  This is where you set the 
hour that the alarm will go off.  The hours are listed in 
military time format.  For example 5 p.m. would be 17 (5+12.).

Next to that is the Minute field.  This is the minute setting 
for the alarm. 

Below those three items are the days of the week setting.  
Simply check the day of the week that you want the alarm to 
go off on.  The order is Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, 
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  

The text field below that is the WAV file that will be played 
when this alarm goes off.  Leaving this blank or with an 
incorrect filename will result in no sound when the alarm 
goes off.  

The "Browse" button brings up an open dialog window where 
you can choose the alarm WAV you desire.

The "Test WAV" button allows you to hear the WAV file 
currently shown in the WAV file text box.

The "Exit" button will quit the program entirely.  If you 
press the close button (upper right corner) the settings 
window will disappear but the alarm program itself will 
remain active and in the tray.

The "About" button displays the help file.


Note:  The program creates a file called AlarmSimple.als 
which contains all the information about the alarm settings.  
This file should reside in the same directory as the main 
program (AlarmSimple.exe) or it will not be seen.   The 
AlarmSimple.hlp should also be kept in the same directory 
as the main program.  

There isn't a lot to this program but there isn't supposed 
to be.  The program is just a simple way to set many alarms.  
I prefer to launch the program in my start menu so it 
starts when Windows does.
