	         	       TIMER LIBRARY

   The Library TIMER.LIB contains the following clock orientated CLIPPER
   functions.

   timefunc
   timeoff
   clock_on
   clock_off
   alarm_on
   alarm_off

   TIMEFUNC.

	This function allows you to repeatedly 'wakeup' a CLIPPER function or
        procedure at a specified time interval in seconds. The usage format is
        TIMEFUNC("function name",delay).

        i.e timefunc("FUNC1",5)
         	
	would result in function func1 being called every 5 seconds.


   TIMEOFF.

	This function disables the effect of timefunc. The usage format is

	timeoff( )

   CLOCK_ON.

	This function will display a realtime clock on the screen. The usage
        format is CLOCK_ON(x_pos,y_pos,format)

        x_pos = the column position on the screen to display the clock
        y_pos = the row position on the screen to display the clock

	format can have the following values :

        1 - display a clock in the hh:mm format
	2 - display a clock in the hh:mm:ss format
        3 - display a clock in the h:mm am/pm format
	
   CLOCK_OFF.

	clock_off removes the clock from the screen and restores the previous
        contents of the screen.

   ALARM_ON.

	This function allows a CLIPPER procedure or function to be woken up at
        a specified time every 24 hours. THe usage format is
        ALARM_ON("HH:MM:SS","Function name").

        i.e alarm_on("10:00:00","FUNC2")

        would result in func2 being called at 10 am every day until either the
        machine was reset, alarm_off was called, the main CLIPPER program
        terminated or the machine was reset.

   ALARM_OFF.

	This function disables the effect of alarm_on. The usage format is
        alarm_off( ).


   All these functions will only work on a 286 processor or better. The alarm
   function may not work on some processors with older BIOS. They were written
   to work with SUMMER 87 CLIPPER, if people find them useful and ask i will
   fix them, if necessary, to work with CLIPPER 5.0.

   These functions are provided as is, use them at your own risk. If anybody      
   has any questions regarding how they work or would like any modifications made
   send me an EMAIL. My CIS id is 71507,1033.
