README.TXT - YAKKITY CLOCK Product Documentation Shareware Version 1.01S - 7/20/92 interim release INTRODUCTION ------------ Yakkity Clock is a fun, easy-to-use "talking clock" utility for the Microsoft Windows operating environment. Yakkity Clock literally "tells" you the time at the press of a button -- or at easily configured intervals from once every hour to once every minute. A number of built-in sound effects can be substituted for the "interval" voice time -- you can even set up Yakkity Clock to bark like a dog! Yakkity Clock is an alarm clock, too! Up to four independent alarms can be set and enabled quickly and easily. Plus, the alarm feature can be configured to play either of the two standard sounds OR any stand-alone .WAV sound file located in the Yakkity Clock directory! VERSION 1.01 RELEASE NOTES ------- --- ------- ----- Yakkity Clock (Version 1.01) is an interim release that features improved memory handling and a number of performance enhancements.

As always, registered users will be advised of any future releases or upgrade announcements regarding this product.
