                            N_MENTIM.ACC version 1.1
                            ------------------------

This  textfile  contents some information about N_MENTIM.ACC.  The  name  means
nothing  more than MEN(ubar)TIM(e).  This accessory shows the current date  and
time in the accessories menu bar.

Installing this accessories on your boot disk will show "N_MENTIM  1.1" on your
screen  at  startup.  When the startup procedure is over oen  of  the  leftmost
menu's will contain the current date and time.  These are taken from the GEMDOS
time,  and not from the keyboard, for those of you who are interested. clicking
on this menu entry only shows a small alert box about the  version  number  and
the author.

I was getting tired of all these little programs that installed a little  clock
on  the right top of the screen:  I only wanted to know the time when **  I  **
needed it. This accessory seemed like a reasonable solution. The time is  upda-
ted every 5 seconds (in a GEM environment), so there is no measurable delay  in
the processing of your computer.

N_MENTIM works with all kins of TOS versions, all kinds of resolutions and  all
kinds of monitors,  since it is based only on a few AES calls,  which are inde-
pendent of the factors mentioned.

N_MENTIM is written in assembly,  which makes it possible to reduce the size of
it to only 484 bytes:  no packing program can shorten this!  N_MENTIM is  fully
Public Domain, which means that you may not sell it, but are encouraged to copy
it. In the latter case, you should be sure that N_MENTIM.ACC is accompagnied by
N_MENTIM.TXT,  since programs with no manual (no matter how small they are) are
of no use at all ...
