Call Time Program ----------------- Version 1.0 Overview: The purpose of the Call Time program is very simple, it logs the time and date of your phone calls while you are out. It does this by monitoring the "ring" on Hayes style modems. Directions: Run program, select printer if you want to send a real time printout to your printer, which I suggest if you are going to be gone along time. Then turn on your modem and select "Run Program". The program has only been tested on a Hayes modem, but I think it will work with others types. Once the telephone rings, the call will be logged on the screen and printer (if you selected it). I have a time delay of about a minute to prevent a double logging of a call. There is a count down timer and the display will say " * Catch Delay * ". To stop the program, just hit a key and the GEM functions will be active again. IMPORTANT: The computer grabs the time and date from the system clock, make sure it is set properly on your control panel first. Don't forget to select the run program from the menu. The bar at the bottom of the screen will indicate that the program is waiting for a call and is working by saying " ...working... ". Oh boy: This program is ideal for message machines that do not have a time/date stamp. You now have that feature with this program. No Caution: Some people hate to leave their computer on while they are out, fearing fire or electrical bills, etc. 1. Ninety five percent of your computer energy goes to the monitor. The computer itself probably uses less than your message machine. (And you leave that on day and night, while you are out) If this is a concern you have, just turn off your monitor when you leave and the electrical use will be minor. 2. If you fear fire, then you run about the same (extremely low) risk as you do with a message machine left on. If you are afraid your $38 printer will jam, then don't leave it on. 3. Some people get this nagging feeling that they are "wearing out" their computer by leaving it on. The answer is no, it doesn't wear out. I have a Atari 800 "running" my house, and it's been on for about six years-- day and night. Support: This program was written in GFA basic. If this program is of value to you, it would be nice to whip a couple of bucks on me. Bug reports are also welcome and will be fixed. Bill Rice 4758 Calle De Lucia San Jose, Ca. 95124
